A friend had suggested we stay in the Gracia neighborhood in Barcelona for our recent vacation. We chose this apartment even though it was new to Airbnb because it was roomy and looked nice in the pictures. In reality it was much more lovely than the pictures showed--the tall ceilings, large windows with tons of light, comfortable, rooms, and the remodeled baths and kitchen were perfect for us! We appreciated having two major bus lines within a couple of blocks, being a few minute walk from the Sagrada Familia Metro (and the cathedral itself!) so it was super convenient for exploring the whole city. We also really appreciated having nice grocery stores (Bonpreu and Carrefour within a block), cafes, and bakeries, in addition to other amenities nearby. The location is close to the Barrio Gracia shops and restaurants, which are amazing. in the city. we had a great trip! One note that seems important is that this is a small, quiet building--and there are notes reminding guests to be quiet. This was perfect for us but notable if you were planning to host gatherings in the evening. We would happily stay in this apartment again on a return trip!
