The location was perfect for us. We were looking for a quiet place in Barcelona with easy access to the metro and all the city has to offer. Gracia has fantastic restaurants and Sandro’s recommendations had us living like a local. We know a few phrases and words in Spanish and no Catalan, but the people around were all very welcoming and English was a common secondary language for most.
The house itself was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The beds and blackout shades helped us get the sleep we needed, and coffee pot helped us wake up each morning. The only thing to be aware of are the steep stairs to the third floor. It wasn’t a problem for us, but it might be for some.
Sandro was incredibly gracious, and was able to answer all of our questions much faster than I expected. He also arranged for transport to and from the airport, which was one less thing we had to worry about. When we come back to Barcelona, we’ll stay here again. We know enough about the city to understand what a great opportunity this location is to use as a home base on your adventures in the city.
