Pilar's apartment is located in Gracia, which I loved. So many little streets to wander down with great restaurants, cafes, bars and shops. And NOT filled with tourists, which is always a plus. Easy to walk to many places.
The apartment worked out fine. It's pretty basic - but was clean, with a nice big bathroom, and suited our needs. Pilar was very responsive every time I had a question both before and during the trip, and helped arrange my transportation to and from the airport.
