Top marks! We were warmly greeted by Alba’s husband, Carlos, and a bottle of chilled Cava (which we drank on the fantastic roof terrace one evening). The apartment was sparkling and had everything we needed for our five night stay. We love to live like the locals and Alba’s place was perfect. It is a quick metro stop to the best of Barcelona; however, the neighborhood feels like you are living there- rather than merely being a tourist. The Collblanc market is out the front door and the metro is literally a two minute walk. Our favorite night was having tapas at a busy local bar steps from the apartment (the name escapes me) and watching football while drinking Sangria. A wonderful place to stay!
