Alex and his wife are are incredibly hospitable, and made my mom and I feel like at home the entire time! They gave very good recommendations of what to see, do, and local parts of the city. The apartment is very central, and located in the charming and bohemian neighborhood of Gràcia. Restaurants, cute shops, bars, the metro are all walking distance, and Park Güell is just 10 minutes away. The pictures of the flat are very accurate, and although the room is cozy and small, everything is very clean, and we could use their kitchen to cook, living room and dining area. Everything was perfect!
