My fiance and I stayed in Joana's apartment for 4 nights and we were very happy with our experience. The apartment was spacious and clean, and checking in/checking out was easy. Joana was very friendly and communicated with us well before the trip and sent several maps on how to get there from our airport bus stop. Location was great, nearby to markets, shopping, and less than a 10 minute walk to the metro. There is a community center across the street with lots of kids and families socializing, so it got a little noisy in the evenings, but it was always quiet when we went to bed. As first time visitors to Barcelona, I'd highly recommend this apartment and the Gracía neighborhood to anyone! Thank you Joana!
