If you are looking for a wonderful, unique location, this is it! The apartment is Located on an active, vibrant Placa surrounded by great restaurants, charcuterie shops, wine shops, Helado, amazing empanadas, shaved Japanese Ice’s & bustling with local Gràcia residents. Our 7 year old son made many friends playing soccer on the Placa every evening until 10pm. Big windows with a balcony overlooking the Placa allowed us to keep a watchful eye from above. Close to bus and metro transportation, numerous grocery stores, pastry shops and the Mercat Libertat (which was the cleanest neighborhood Mercat we saw in any of the cities we visited in Spain) The 20 minute walk to Sagrada Familia is pleasant. The owner, Javier, was helpful with taxi arrangements to the airport, and very quick and responsive whenever we reached out to him. As other reviews have stated, there is a very narrow staircase - no elevator. If you have heavy luggage or have any physical limitations, the 3 flights of stairs could present challenges. Spacious, clean and modestly furnished.
