Joan's place was perfect for our 6 days in Barcelona. We arrived late in the evening and Joan had a friend who met us to let us in the apartment. Communication with Joan was good, anytime I needed a question answered, Joan was quick to respond. The apartment is located in Gracia, which is convenient to so many places of interest in Barcelona. Our neighborhood itself was quaint, lively, fun and not touristy. The Placa de la Vila de Gracia, the town square was a short block away. There are several restaurants, bars, gelato shops and more surrounding the square and in the evenings it is bustling with local families, young people having dinner, talking or the kids playing in the square. The apartment is very nice. It had a full kitchen, including dishwasher. There is a washer/dryer combo which was great to have. The bed was comfortable and separated from the living area by a glass block wall. the bathroom was spacious and the shower was a little small but worked great.
The part we loved the most was the terrace. It was perfect for relaxing in the evening after a full day of exploring Barcelona. We would definitely stay again on our next trip to Barcelona.
