Nice location- lots of coffee shops, pastries and grocery stores nearby. Gràcia area has a lot of nice spots to enjoy. A bit far to walk to the Gothic quarter but not impossible. Walkable to Sagrada :) Close to the metro line Diagonal from which you can easily get to Placa Espanya and from there either go to Montserrat or transfer for the Airport bus, so convenient! I felt very safe in the apartment and loved the little balcony! The facilities were also good!
