Alba and Carlos (her partner) were fantastic hosts. We found the apartment very easy to get to and once there, we were met outside by Carlos. He took us to the apartment and showed us around. He also explained the local amenities (supermarket opening, the food and fish market, where good places for dinner were). The apartment is very clean, with washing machine,wifi, air-con and tv. There is a communal clothes drier up at the terrace and it is free to use. The terrace is a lovely area to sit and have some drinks. Both hosts were present around the building and we saw them from time to time; they always asked how we were and how the apartment was - extremely helpful and pleasant. Very well connected to public transport too! There is also a good tapas place if you turn left leaving the apartment building called El Barri. Overall a wonderful time in Barcelona, and we will be booking this apartment when we next visit Barcelona.
