Ana's apartment in Gracia was a perfect base for a lovely week in Barcelona. The apartment is quirky, stylish, clean and in a great location for exploring the city. It's located perfectly between Joanic and Verdaguer metro stops, 5 mins walking from both, and there are plenty of bus options - we caught a bus to Nou Camp from just around the corner. Passeig de Gracia, and Casa Milla are about a 15 minute walk away. There is a lovely indoor market at the end of the street on Passeig de Sant Joan, and plenty of cafes and bars nearby (we thoroughly recommend Cafe Adonis around the corner for delicious tapas). Ana lives across the hallway and responded quickly to a request for an extra blanket for the sofa bed. It's a great apartment for a family (we were there with 3 kids) - the kids loved the sleeping arrangements (a combination of a sofa bed and a curtained area off the lounge with two single beds). Gracia is an interesting area to explore - the squares especially (Placa del Sol and Placa de la Vila de Gracia are both good stops for a coffee or beer). An area with lots of families - the children were welcomed wherever we went. Merci Ana!
