Ricsrd’s sweet apartment was perfectly appointed, extremely clean and very comfortable. We really appreciated the lift so we could avoid carrying our bags up stairs! The Gràcia is a lovely, quiet neighborhood - the apartment is in a non-touristy enclave yet within walking distance to all the sights. Ricard met us at the apartment and gave us a thorough tour. He was very kind and thoughtful, providing loads of suggestions and resources. We would definitely return!
