Our stay was fantastic! The place was spotless, well organized, and all appliances and furniture was new. Absolutely everything you find in your home can be found in this sunlit apartment, including soap, shampoo, towels, and detergent.

Elisabeth goes the extra mile by providing visitors with Barcelona books, travel guides, maps, and a list of the best places to eat in the Gracias neighborhood. Her home smells wonderful and she makes it even more inviting with Nespresso espresso capsules, tea, and she even gifted us two bottles of chilled beer!

The surroundings are quiet and peaceful. There is a beautiful rooftop patio where you can hang your laundry (for long stays), which overlooks all of Barcelona. You can see the Sagrada Familia from there.

There are many local restaurants downstairs which are always full of young couples, friends, and families. Some of the best food we had was in Gracia. It's just less than a 10-minute walk to Joanic metro station (yellow line) and less than 15 min walk to Fontana metro station (green line). Don't be afraid of walking around Gracia. We always felt safe, and there were plenty of small boutique shops to look and wander in during your stroll to the metro.

You can easily walk to Park Guell (north) and down south to Casa Battlo, and La Pedrera from this location. We would often end our day in Barri Gotic, and walk back to Elisabeth's airbnb.

This is a great place for a couple or two close friends to stay in. We would definitely stay here again, without a doubt. Living in the Gracia neighbourhood gave us a more authentic feel of Barcelonian life.. unlike the uber touristic Ramblas or Barri Gotic.

Stay with Elisabeth. You will not be disappointed :)
