The apartment was sparkling clean when we came! Everything is like in the pictures. Joan is amazing host with great recommandations and such a friendly approach! We had a great time in the lovely Gracia, so i totally recommend this neighborhood as it is the most peaceful and has lovely restaurants with the some old spirit of Barcelona in which you will enjoy.
Everything that you want to visit is, for sure, easy to access as it has a lot of lines (buses and metro).
