Very closed to the "red carpet" on the map, ramblas and shopping area, bed very big, shower too. Excellent. more

I was completely won over by Axel. Right from the moment my companion and I sauntered through the glass doors of the main entrance-which are enclosed in a beautifully appointed façade, to the time we regrettably had to say our farewells, we were whisked away into a world of complete bliss at the hands of our hosts.
