We really enjoyed our stay here. Location is in a pretty buzzing section of the Gracia district, lots of restaurants and shops within just a few block range. There are several good casual local breakfast places right downstairs for breakfast. And a quick walk to the Gaudi buildings on Passieg de Gracia. Trize was very easy to communicate with, very responsive which was especially helpful when we got stuck in Barcelona an extra day because of bad weather and needed an extra night. The apartment itself is on a 3rd floor and faces a reasonably busy street, but the bedroom is well in the back and very quiet (and we are very sensitive to noise). The place is very spacious and comfortable -- we didn't really use the kitchen but it is quite nice and well appointed. Also a nice little rooftop patio to hang out on during any downtime. Only complaint was that the bathroom was a bit old/worn (but clean) and the entranceway and stairs up are pretty shabby (it's in an old building!). But again, the apartment itself was very spacious and comfortable.
