My husband and I are so happy to have stayed at Alex and Paola's apartment. We were there for eight days and it happened that they were away for vacation. We met for one evening and Alex gave us all the information we need about the city, including restaurants to get empanadas and tapas, tourist attractions, getting around, grocery stores, shopping, etc. Even when they were on vacation, they still checked in with us to see how we're doing. In addition, we also asked them other questions about beaches we could visit, among other things. Alex is always very responsive and helpful. We love our stay in Barcelona. We managed to cook a couple of meals as the grocery store is just around the corner. The airport bus is also right down the street. We walked to all the attractions Barcelona is one of the best walking city, even Park Guell is only an hour away, walking. We did rent some bikes (also not far from the apartment) to go to the beach. Barcelona is truly an amazing city, with mountains, beaches and Guadi's architecture, not to mention wide sidewalk and bike lanes.
