We stayed at Àlex’s for about 5 days and it was everything we needed. The house is old but beautiful and full of character. The metro is right outside and most places aren’t more than 15 - 20 minutes away at most. Everything was clean and all the other guests and residents were very respectful and friendly - it is not a party house.
Although located near a busy road the shutters on the huge window and door block out much of the noise and blacks out the room, so sleeping in is EASY (not to mention watching the incredible thunderstorm through the huge windows looking straight up to Tibidabo was something special) There are also three bathrooms which meant no waiting at all.
Àlex is a great host and person, they answered any messages I sent almost immediately and offered many great places to eat for vegetarians and vegans - Thank you! They also accommodated our check in time which was above and beyond necessary and I am truly grateful.
One more thing. . . The resident cat (even though we were told she wasn’t always friendly) is the cutest cat I have ever met, she is tiny and cross-eyed and loved to be cuddled us. She seemed to be recovering from something because she was wearing a tiny little protective cone of shame haha. It was a pleasure to come home to her everyday.
I have no complaints. Great value for money ✅
