Architectural gem with quirky stylish interiors in a great location. Little wonder this apartment has featured in a number of films including Pedro Almodovar’s All About my Mother and TV series like Killing Eve series 3. We had seen pics from the website so were knew it was going to be nice but we were blown away by just how magnificent it actually was. From the stunning private marble staircase and perfectly restored elevator to the soaring ornate ceilings which are perfectly balanced with quirky modernist furnishings, we could have felt a little awkward staying in what looked like a Hollywood film set - but instead we felt immediately at home and comfortable thanks to the warm hospitality of our lovely super hosts. Despite the heatwave conditions outside, the ceiling fans and marble floors were enough to keep the interiors comfortable - no aircon, no problem. We took one night off dining out and cooked a meal - the kitchen facilities were fine. There’s a bakery downstairs for morning coffee and pastries. The metro and bus stop are just at the front of the building and taxis are easy to come by. The only downside of having public transport so close by is that there is traffic noise. So if you’re a very light sleeper, you might want to pack earplugs . Otherwise the double interior French doors do a surprisingly decent job in reducing outside noise. We loved the Gracia neighborhood - with its lively village squares, independent retailers, non-touristy bars and restaurants, within walking distance to Gaudi’s first house and Park Güell yet just a few stops from the centre of Barcelona. In short, an ideal location for exploring the cultural gems of Barcelona. We loved our stay and would rebook in a heartbeat.
