We enjoyed our stay here. The apartment is in a great location in the Gracia neighbourhood, close to non-touristy restaurants and other amenities including close to the metro. This is a good place to stay for a short time when you are busy touring all the sites; being on the ground floor right on the street does not lend itself to hanging out in the apartment for long lengths of time. This apartment had all we needed for our stay here. Our host provided us with lots of information including a detailed neighbourhood map of where everything - laundry, groceries, restaurants, bakeries, etc were located. He was also very responsive before and during our stay. A plus was that for an additional charge, he picked us up at the airport, making our arrival much easier.
