Alejandra’s place is perfect for a short stay in Barcelona. It is located in the centre of the Gracia neighbourhood so there are plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. The subway ride into the historical center is quick and simple.
It is like a hostel because there are many others staying in the place but you get a private room with a lock on the door. It has a kitchen that you can use and three bathrooms. The place was always kept reasonably clean considering how many guests were present.
I have to say it was uncomfortably cold during the night (March) and it was necessary while I slept to cover myself with additional blankets and towels that I brought.
