We had a great stay in Simona's place in Barcelona. The apartment was spacious and bright. The location was great, right in the Gracia neighboorhood, close to a street with tons of food options. Getting around barcelona from here was easy - within walking distance of many great sights and a metro stop close at hand. Gracia is an active neighboorhood - we happened to be there for a celebration of some sort. All day parade with horses, drummers with candies flung at the crowd from floats. Great experience! My only complait is the noise from the street at the front of the house. Scooters riding everywhere at all times of night and they are loud!
