We loved our stay at Ana's appartment. My wife and I have been to Barcelona numerous times before but this was our first trip with our daughter and we couldn't have asked for a better base. We could have spent the entire week in Gracia and hanging out by the pool. The neighborhood is a pleasure to explore and of course there is easy access to all of Barcelona's other sites too. The pool is a huge bonus and although it can be a bit chilly we made full use of it throughout our stay!
