Alex's apartment is in the mid of uphill area which gives great view over Port Vell and fresh air in the morning. Not to mention the proximity to Park Güell. To enjoy this view, there is around 15 mins walk uphill from the nearest subway station. Alex is very sweet to leave us with the most informative guide book of Barcelona he prepared himself !! And so nice to send me a softcopy so that I don't have to carry the hardcopy out! Alex even stayed for 1 hour to explain the tourist spots for us. Heartfelt grateful to such a wonderful host!
