Federico’s spot was a great introduction to the Gracia neighborhood. He offers a lot of recommendations and even provides the option of picking you up from the airport, which we did for a reasonable fee. He was right on time and very friendly.
The studio itself is great, located on the bottom floor so no need to worry about stairs. It’s conveniently located next to a grocery store and other quaint restaurants/bars.
The studio was clean and spacious. I will echo the comments of others which is that the WiFi is very spotty so if you’re stay is highly dependent on strong WiFi for purposes of work, etc. this may not be the best place for you although there are plenty of little cafes that you can work out of and would be more enjoyable than being cooped up in studio. Also, the hot water really only last 10 minutes and then requires a few minutes to reheat but that was never an issue for us but serves as an FYI for others.
Federico was very attentive with all of my questions and requests. I realized that I left my cosmetics bag and he has already arranged to ship it back to me in the US. What a great host and I can’t recommend this place enough.
