If you’re looking for a place to stay that’s away from the tourist crowds but still close to it all, Jordi’s is a great choice! Our family of four had a wonderful stay at Jordi’s comfortable, clean, and well stocked flat in the Gracia neighborhood. The flat had plenty of space for our family to relax, eat, and sleep. The bedrooms were quiet, successfully keeping out the buzzy street life outside, and the beds comfortable. The apartment is fully air conditioned, which brought welcome relief as the summer temps start to climb. Gràcia is one of the most charismatic neighborhoods in the city and its narrow streets where a pleasure to stroll. The neighborhood is filled with plenty of great restaurants, coffee shops, bakeries, super markets, and shops. It’s the type of neighborhood that gets you to think “If I moved to Barcelona, this is where I would live.” It’s authentic. And it’s close to all of the sights. The Gaudi attractions are within easy walking distance with a a couple just a few blocks away. Barcelona’s efficient metro is also within a few mins walk, getting you quickly and easily to the Gothic quarter. For just 10 euros, a family or group can share an eight trip metro ticket. Jordi was a very attentive host, leaving us a welcome gift upon our arrival and checking in with us after our first night in the apartment. The communication with Jordi was easy and efficient all along. The only minor caution is that sound may travel from the upstairs apartment rental. By Barcelona standards, we are uncharacteristically “early to bed” people and during just a couple of nights during our stay, we could hear the neighbors upstairs walking around (no parties or other loud noises, though). The rest of our stay was quiet and peaceful. Overall, we had a great stay and I highly recommend Jordi’s for your stay in Barcelona. We’d definitely come back and stay again.
