The apartment is situated in a lovely quiet area in the north of Gracia. It is a little bit off the beaten track but this is really part of it's attraction. The Placa del Nord has a lovely ambience and the general area is clean and we felt perfectly safe. The apartment itself is very comfortable and extremely well equipped, we really couldn't fault it. If you want to be in the centre of BCN then go elsewhere but if you are looking for a comfortable place to stay very close to great dining and drinking choices and great metro access then look no further.
