Overall we enjoyed our stay. We appreciated that Angel was super responsive and helpful with check-in. He welcomed us warmly even though our arrival was a little delayed. I really enjoyed staying in the Gràcia area. The apartment is literally right upstairs from the metro which was really nice; it’s on the same line to head to the city center and Las Ramblas. We honestly walked most places including the gothic quarter, Ramblas, Catalunya, and even the beach; however the beach is pretty far (about a 45 minute walk). There are two things that can’t really be adjusted by the owner but they were a bit of a nuisance, the apartment is located on the fifth floor (really 6th) and there isn’t an elevator. It was challenging to get the luggage up the stairs and exhausting especially at the end of our long walks. Secondly, the shower in the bathroom is tiny and it is difficult to shower and impossible to shower without getting your hair wet. If you can get past those two things, I think you would like the place, but I probably wouldn’t stay again.
