Nuria's apartment was fantastic for many reasons. It is located in La Gracia which is technically part of Barcelona, but feels like another world. It is an awesome, hip neighborhood that breaths it's own life. The apartment is also walkable to the Sagrada Familia and Park Guell. It is close to buses and trains to get to the more touristy areas. The apartment is comfortable and decorated by someone who knows and loves art =) Nuria is a wonderful person, she cares so much about her guests!! We were there during a heat/humidity wave so it got very humid the first night, but aside from that our stay was perfect. Highly recommend !! Also Mathilda the cat is adorable.
