Gemma and Alex's apartment is quite large and is completely equipped for a comfortable stay, including room heaters that work. The building has an elevator, so getting up to the apartment is easy. Alex met us at the apartment and answered all our questions about the apartment, and provided suggestions on what to see in the city and how to get there. The apartment is within walking distance of the Sagrada Familia Basilica, and the bus/metro system is easy to use and cheap to get to all other places.
