Apartment is in a great location on Av. Gaudi, just 500m from Sagrada Familia and a 20 minute walk to the cafes and restaurants of Gracia. Great coffee shop just 30 metres from the door. Metro is just 200-300 metres away.

Clara was waiting for us and showed us the apartment. She couldn't provide any current information on local eating and drinking spots, as she hasn't lived in the area for some time. However we found several good options nearby.

The apartment is quite spacious for a one bedroom attic flat, reached by elevator and one flight of stairs. Generally clean and well equipped; bedroom feels a bit damp as it doesn't get much sun, so we ran the heater at times.

Overall, happy to stay (10 nights), in what was an economical base for exploring Barcelona.
