Highly Recommended!
We (my husband, 8 year old daughter and I) stayed in Montse’s apartment for three nights and really enjoyed it. Montse was very good with communication before and during our trip; she checked in on us, using WhatsApp, during our stay.
The apartment was very, very clean and the layout was nice with the bedrooms located on the opposite end of the apartment from the tv room and kitchen. The bed in the main bedroom was really comfortable. The washing machine was handy and the clothes dried quickly on the lines. As other people have written, there are a lot of stairs to the apartment. The stairs didn’t bother us, but if you are concerned, note that the apartment is on the 4th floor (which is the 5th floor in the US).
The apartment is out of the main touristy area, yet close enough to walk to restaurants, grocery stores, and even some of the main sights (La Pedrera, Sagrada Familia). Graciá is a wonderful neighborhood and has plenty of restaurants and bars, plus charming squares and shops to enjoy.
We recommend a bakery/coffee shop a few blocks from the apartment: Croissanteria. It is on the same street as the apartments (Carrer del Perril) at the corner of Carrer del Torrent de l’Olla. Delicious croissants and cappuccino.
Thank you Montse for letting us stay in your wonderful apartment.
