Ricard’s place was a great spot for exploring Barcelona. The apartment has all the things you need: enough space to relax and in a really fantastic location. We really enjoyed our stay—especially wandering the streets of Gràcia street in the evenings and eating breakfast on the little balcony. The apartment is located in a bit of a side street, so it’s quieter while being right in the heart of the neighborhood. While the ceilings are high throughout the place, the shower ceiling was randomly low enough for my husband to graze the ceiling (he’s particularly tall so this was not an issue for me). The space is in an older building so you can hear neighbors and noises, but that comes with the territory so it didn’t bother us— the charm alone was more significant than the noise.
