Alex Vilar and his wonderful loft are two reasons why AirBnB is such a great thing. Anyone who has looked at all the places available in Barcelona can be easily overwhelmed. We frankly chose Alex's loft because of its red kitchen, which contrasted nicely with the space's original stone walls. Upon arrival, we knew instantly that we'd made a great choice. Alex was kind and hospitable, and helpful with information about the wonderful Gracia neighborhood. His loft is an architectural delight, and every bit as beautiful as the pictures led us to believe. We enjoyed every aspect of our stay, and we heartily recommend this truly amazing loft.
