Thanks Mireia! We had a very comfortable and cool stay (thank heavens for air con) in Mireia's treasure trove of an apartment. It is very bright, clean and funky, located in a quiet street. It is a pleasant walk from the apartment down to Placa de Catalunya, taking in Gaudi and coffee en route, but, if after a day sight seeing you prefer to stay local then there are plenty of good restaurants and bars in Gracia - a very relaxed and friendly part of the city. As a host she was very friendly and easy to contact and comes highly recommended!
