The apartment is located on a quiet street in Gracia and is clean and spacious. The weather was too cool to really enjoy the garden but it's beautiful to hear the birds and look out at the orange and lemon trees.
We loved Gracia and quickly found our way to several lovely parks and squares where we could enjoy the local scene. There's a grocery store a block away and the metro is an easy walk.
We also walked to the Park Guell and Sagrada Familia and then took the metro to the Gothic and Born neighborhoods. We found Barcelona to be an easy city to navigate and the people very friendly and helpful. Teresa is a super host and met us at the apartment to help us get familiar with everything and had several pages of maps and restaurant suggestions waiting. She lives in the building and was so friendly and available on the two occasions we needed her. All in all, a great experience.
