The Gracia neighborhood was right on the edge of Eixample, about a 10 minute walk. The apartment is even nicer than the pictures. I was very impressed. The beds are comfortable, wifi worked great, air conditioning worked very well, shower water pressure was fantastic, and the place was very nice! Many restaurants and bars in the neighborhood. We were right outside Placa de Sol which is where many people in the neighborhood gather. If your a light sleeper it can get a bit noisy on certain nights but we slept well after touring each day! It was so lovely to be in an area a little bit away from tourists. We walked most places. It was approxiately a 30-40 minute walk to the old city, 50 or so minutes to the beach, 10min to Eixample, and 25min to La Sagrada Familia. But, taxis were not expensive and we used those sometimes. We truly enjoyed our stay!! Thank you!!
