Our stay at Joana's place was comfortable, convenient and very memorable. The area of Gracia was full of really nice cafe's, organic fruit stalls and markets and within a great proximity to Park Guell (5-10 minute bus ride away), and Diagonal metro. (5 minute walk) and so her place was in a great location for exploring the real suburban area of Barcelona.
We definitely loved the change from staying in a hostel and would highly recommend this place to anyone that doesn't want to be around the really touristy area of La rambla, and doesn't mind waking or getting the metro when needed.
Overall great experience and Joana was warm, welcoming and understanding.
