Paulo and I had a great time staying at your apartment in this lovely district of Gracia.
The apartment it self was clean well laid out with the added bonus of the gorgeous terrace where we could start our day having breakfast and return to in the sun baked afternoons, for a rest before hitting the highlights of the beautiful city in the evening.
We felt that we were so central to everything where we could either to walk or take the metro from Diagonal station which is a 5 minute walk from the apartment . The apartment itself is on the sixth floor so we were very grateful for the lift even though it is the smallest one we have ever seen! It can just about fit 2 people in !
The district felt like we were living with the locals as we found the lovely plaza de Gracia where you can have a lovely 3 course lunch with wine or beer for 12 euros. It is the lovely atmosphere of the plaza where family's gather to enjoy good local food . You just can't beat this, and for us this was one of the many highlights during our stay.
For Tapas in the evening go to La Pepitia which was recommended by Josep on our arrival. We really enjoyed the atmosphere here as well as the food.
Josep was very good in responding quickly to any queries we had . On reflection what would have been helpful would be to have some written information such as to where the best supermarket is , the bakers and where to dispose of the rubbish and how to return the keys.
We would definitely recommend this apartment and when we decide to return to Barcelona we would hope to stay here again.
