Alejandra’s place is the best place you can stay in Barcelona, especially if it is your first time. Her place is located in the center of the oldest part of the city.
It is a 10-15 min walk to the beach and a 5-10 min walk to Las Ramblas. Even though the walk itsself is all you need because it is so historic and nice. Her place is nestled in a small historic alleyway directly above a small pub.
Alejandra was a great host. She provided us with directions to her place before we arrived and was at home waiting on us upon our arrival. She gave us tips about places to go and local places to eat, and had breakfast waiting on us every morning. She provided helpful tips about which bus to take and how to get to the airport on our departure.
The room is perfect with a queen sized bed and a couch. You will have two balconies that you can look down into the alleyways from. You have your own private bathroom that only you use.
I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to visit Barcelona.
