The apartment is an ideal location in Barcelona. It's very close to metro and bus services which are only a few stops from many of the main areas of interest. Gracia is a great area, full of individual shops, bars and restaurants while also having lots of local services such as convenience stores, a food market, bakeries etc. It's worth taking the time to spend a day just exploring the area if you have not been to Gracia before (check out www.graciadivina.com).

We loved staying on the square which has some great places to eat and drink plus three gelaterias. Our children could have a run around with local children while we sat at one of the bar terraces. Caruba, located directly beneath the apartment, is particularly friendly and great for a morning coffee. As we have young children, we couldn't be out late, therefore it was really good to have the balcony overlooking the bustle of the square. We had no issues with noise. Our boys slept in the front bedroom and had no problems falling sleep or being woken early. We also had no noise from adjacent apartments.

The apartment is an ideal size for 4 people and had everything we needed in the kitchen (crockery, pots, etc.), bathroom (decent shower, towels, hairdryer) and bedrooms (comfy beds, lots of bedding, storage etc.). There's also a highchair, pushchair, washing machine and airer. The wifi is good and the TV has the Disney channel if needed! It's located on the first floor of the building.

Communication with Ramon was great in terms of arranging check-in and on the day we were met on time by Lucas who showed us where everything was and provided his mobile number if we needed any help.

I would definitely recommend the Gracia area and also this apartment, particularly for it's location on the square. It proved to be the perfect base for our 9 days in Barcelona. Thank you!
