We had a glorious stay in Phil and Fiona's apartment in Gracia. It was more than large enough for our family with 3 kids, beautiful traditional floors and an excellent renovation of a lovely old apartment. The location was exactly what we were after, a lovely neighbourhood, close enough to see all of the Barcelona sights (walking to both Parc Gruell and La Sagrada Famillia) and only a few metro stops to the hustle and bustle of the gothic district, but far enough away to not feel immersed in the tourist jungle. Plus we were lucky enough to be in Gracia at the time of the Gracia festival which was incredible! Fiona met us at the apartment on our arrival and was extremely welcoming and helpful. She was also kind enough to answer any queries we had about Barcelona over the weekend. We would thoroughly recommend staying here.
