This apartment in Gracia exceeded our expectations. The living/dining area, with its sparse modern furnishings, is luminous and wonderful with a wall of windows and a doorway onto the huge terrace that gives the apartment the feeling of a personal retreat in the middle of the city. The bedrooms on the street side of the apartment have small balconies and window shutters to buffer noise during naps or at night, though we didn't experience loud car or pedestrian noise on this narrow side street.

We loved Gracia--its central location, unique shops and great food. Sergi stayed in contact with us to make sure we had everything we needed to feel at home. We will choose this lovely apartment on our next visit, which we hope will be soon.
