Monica's apartment is located in the very heart of Gracia. Gracia is a very lively and old area of Barcelona, where you can experience authentic Barcelonian living, with plenty of small fruit shops, bakeries, dairy shops, as well as supermarkets and trendy boutiques. There are bus stops and metro stops within walking distance, and taxis are very easy to catch on the street. It is a very central and busy location, but you can barely hear the street noise in the apartment, which is located on the sixth floor. There is a lift to the fifth floor and stairs from there to the apartment.

The apartment is cosy and perfectly sized for a couple. The 100 square meter rooftop terrace off the living room with chaise long chairs and a clothes line is a great plus. We had people over for dinner on the terrace a couple of times, and the evening views are fantastic (including La Sagrada Familia and Tibidabo). There is another balcony off the bedroom, facing north east.

Monica was very helpful and responsive. Whenever we had any concerns, Monica addressed them personally and immediately. The check in and check out were very easy and straightforward.

The apartment is modern and well-equipped. It's filled with sun all day long, and makes for a very enjoyable and comfortable stay.
