Alex’s place was great. It was a 5 min walk from the diagonal metro station which allowed us to get around the city very easily. The neighborhood was very nice. Loads of great shopping and food. We particularly enjoyed the ramen restaurant down the street. Alex was quick to respond and very easy to communicate with. He left us multiple guidebooks to use and offered us assistance with how to get tickets to various local sites. Also laundry and a huge drying rack in the flat. Would stay at his flat again and again!
