Sela’s charming flat is so peaceful and comfortable, we really enjoyed our stay. It’s a short walk to the Mercat de Libertad and all the shops you could need or want. Loads of great health food options nearby too.
It’s a short block away from the Gracia station and a longer 2 blocks to the Fontana station and the delightful Calle Asturies in Ville de Gracia.
I’ve lived in Barcelona in the past, and her flat is far from the madness, thieves, and throngs of tourists down in Ciutat Velle. But it’s also a lovely walk there and a short metro ride back.
Bonus, for people staying long enough to do laundry- unlike many small European flats, she’s also got a dryer! So you don’t need to air dry your jeans!
Warning for big & tall folk: the toilet is in an old-school water closet. It’s barely big enough for the toilet, and the double doors open inward. At 5’10” I had about 2” clearance while seated.
Otherwise we felt right at home and would highly recommend Sela’s flat. I enjoyed gazing out the rear window and watching the backyards of Barcelona.
