This was a great find for our short trip to Barcelona. The apartment has a lot of character and is in a very authentic location in some small side streets of the city. The beds were very comfortable and they provided nice large towels. There were some cobwebs in the corners of the ceiling and some mold in the shower but otherwise it felt clean. It felt very safe with three separate locks to enter the apartment and they provided a combination lock safe in the closet for valuables.
There are quite a few restaurants and markets close by especially near the Placa de la Vila de Gracia that is just a few blocks away. It was not as close to other things like Sagrada Familia and Placa Catalunya like we were anticipating. I would suggest getting the Hola Barcelona Metro card that gives you unlimited access to public transportation so you don’t have to walk quite so much to get around. (It includes the metro ride to and from the airport but does not cover the cost of the Aerobús to the airport, which is a little faster than the metro if you’re in a hurry)
