We loved our stay at Marta and Paul’s place in Gracia. Barcelona is an incredible city that we could easily explore every bit of from it’s central location. It’s about a 10 minute walk to both of the train lines that pretty much take you anywhere you could want to explore as a tourist. We also got tickets for 9am park guell and walked there from the apartment and were among the first in the park and got amazing photos- a must do! (Although I imagine the park at sunset is also perfect!)
We especially loved the outdoor patio space that we spent a few hours on most evenings with a bottle of wine. Recommendation: bug spray :) the mosquitos were a little nuts in August after a rain!

The value for two bedroom two bath was fantastic and we even extended our stay by one night.
