We had a car and there is a public car park underground for about £30 a night. You don’t need a car, you will be at Barceloneta, everything happens around there and public transport is very easy. Nice area and quiet street. Laundry was made every other day which was a plus. A/C was needed and for a couple is the perfect side to enjoy Barcelona. We love the beach and walks. This location really suits us. Ubber and taxis found us very easy and nothing was more than €15 euros at any time. We did not cook but the apartment had all you need. Supermarkets at 2 minutes walk. Great shower. Nice lights. Refrigerator. All good. Pleasant house. We did not call Alex, except to ask about leaving the keys last day and he replied immediately.
