The Gracia apartment was such a lovely place to stay for our 5 days in Barcelona. We loved the neighborhood. Less than 10 minute walk through a charming street to the Fontana station. This street is filled with shops, cafes, produce vendors, grocery and everything you need. Not to mention there is a grocery store next door. The apartment's greatest appeal: the terrace and the style/decor. Even if the weather is bad, which was not the case for long, the apartment has great natural light. The hosts were wonderful, offering a place to store our luggage pre/post check-in so we could enjoy the city for a few extra hours, and also arranging a lovely surprise for my husband -- flowers/cava and chocolates. Thank you!
