Ricard was a very welcoming host and made things easy for us with great directions before our arrival. The apartment was fantastic, very clean and exactly as depicted - wonderful views from the terrace over the rooftops towards La Sagrada Familia. The street was quiet, yet very central. The leafy local square in Gracia, a few minutes' walk away, became a favourite spot for us for breakfast and sometimes dinner too. I'd happily stay there again.
