Gracia is a great neighborhood to stay in and so was Alessandros's flat. He provided us with maps and places to visit. We were traveling in a group of three and felt that the space was well appointed. We did leave our bedroom door open every night so that we could keep the room cool. There are 2 ac units, neither are in the main bedroom. We loved the fact that there was a Terrance right outside to enjoy our morning cafe. The neighborhood is quite, has lots of very cute shops and bars within a short walking distance as well as a plaza. Very close to the metro station and bus station if you are traveling that way. Staying at Alessandro's flat you felt a sense of staying in a small quite town among the big city. We fell in love with the Gracia neighborhood.
