Great apartment in a residential area of the city away from touristy places but close to everything. The apartment was just remodeled so everything was brand new and the host had thought of every detail to make our stay comfortable. We had everything we needed to feel at home. The building is quiet and the mattresses were very firm so we enjoyed good sleep. There is a bus stop just a few yards from the entrance of the building and you can be in the center of town if town in minutes, actually it is just a few minutes walk to paseo de Gracia and Rambla Catalunya and Avenida Diagonal. There is a market and three supermarkets nearby. The apartment is located just between Gracia , which is full of shops, restaurants, cafes and interesting little plazas full of people, and Sant Gervasi, an upscale residential area.
