Laia, Alex's sister, met me at the flat when I arrived, she was fantastic both in welcoming me to the flat and with her brilliant knowledge of the city and surrounding areas. She had lots of ideas of good things to do tailored to us, telling me about the festival in Gracia which we would probably have missed out on otherwise.

The flat was exactly as we expected with some nice extras such as a city and local map ready for us. An ideal place from which to explore Barcelona, slightly set back from the chaos of the city centre, we also made use of the close proximity to Sants station to get out of the city.

Myself and the two other girls I was with are in agreement that we would definitely recommend staying here to friends and family!
