We had a fantastic stay in Gracia. An excellent area full of independent shops, bars and restaurants. The apartment itself was lovely, we thought we cook and eat in more but it was so easy to pop out for tapas we did that more often than staying in. The showers were wonderful and in abundance, three showers for two couples! No doors to the mezzanine room so a bit nosier than the other room but it didn't take away from our trip at all. Barcelona is the best!! We thoroughly recommend it and Gracia is one of the best areas and within walking distance of everywhere, we covered a lot of ground on foot! A wonderful trip, can't wait to come back!!
