Andrea and Annik have a beautiful apartment. I was speaking at the Istituto Europeo Di Design Barcelona, which is right around the corner. The wifi was fast, the bed comfortable and the terrace divine.

The location was also ideal. Gracia is not very touristy, and I really felt like I was plopped into a neighborly community. There's a vegetarian cafe across the street with air conditioning and lots of little bars, restaurants and bustling plazas along the road.

I was there alone and didn't know anyone in Barcelona. Andrea and Annik were kind enough to invite me out for a quick drink on our first night out and I was very pleased for their company.

I'd give this place my highest recommendation!
