This was an exceptional airbnb. The apartment was very relaxing and had great amenities (great shower, washer/dryer, soundproof balcony doors to minimize sound, beach supplies, a plethora of guides and personalized restaurant/market suggestions). Alex certainly goes above and beyond any airbnb or hotel I have stayed in before. In addition to the relaxing apartment, the area is perfect because it is not as touristy, but a very short walk to tourist attractions, with plenty of great bars and restaurants just around the corner. Barcelona can be very stimulating and this was the perfect spot and environment to wind down a bit when doing days of exciting things!
