Marta & Alex
Your hosts
We’re Marta and Alex, a family from Barcelona — born and raised in the Eixample. We manage this apartment personally and have put together this guide to help you make everything easy and get the most of the city. You’re perfectly located: 2 minutes from Plaza Urquinaona, with El Born, the Gothic Quarter and the Eixample all on your doorstep. Everything here — restaurants, attractions, tips — are places we actually go to with our family.
