My wife and I stayed with Valeria (well mostly with Phillippe since Valeria was traveling and working a lot) for 1 week in their apartment in Gracia. Phillippe was so friendly and helpful in making sure we had everything we needed. He gave us the best restaurant recommendations and made sure we were always comfortable. The neighborhood is amazing, literally steps away from a fresh food market and countless bars, restaurants, and shops. If you want to go to the city center? 20 minute walk down some of the most gorgeous streets in Barcelona (Passeig de Gracia or Rambla de Catalunya, depending which one you choose!) There is very convenient Metro access in multiple directions as well.

Another thing we liked is that this is a real queen sized bed with a nice mattress and good pillows. That's one thing many AirBnBs seem to lack so we really appreciated it!

If you are staying in Barcelona and want to really experience what life here is like, stay with Valeria and Phillippe, they are great people and have a great apartment in the heart of Gracia
