Alex's apartment was perfect: good location, easy to get to, lift in building, and it was so close we could see the top of La Sagrada Familla from the street! I travelled with my tween daughter, and we felt safe even at night. Tube stops only a few minutes away. The apartment is really cool (as in thumbs up), and well appointed. Separate bathroom w/toilet and huge shower. Good heating. The kitchen was great (with dishwasher) and had everything we needed. Alex was very nice, and had some drinks, milk and water for us in the fridge, and there some essentials such as oil & salt etc in the cupboards. Larger "supermerkats" close by. Would definitely stay at Alex's apartment again - thanks for letting us stay, Alex.
