The Gracia Deluxe apartment was just as described- Felt very airy and modern and was spotless. There are steps leading to a rooftop terrace that we enjoyed having and made the apartment seem even more spacious. The Gracia area is just wonderful and we were so glad we chose it- We were able to walk everywhere and if one was not a big walker there was a metro stop at the end of the street. We felt like we really were living in Barcelona by being in such a lovely and non-touristy neighborhood. There were so many little streets and interesting squares to explore.
We did not meet Silvia but the man who met us was very friendly and helpful.
