Barcelona is always a place to visit. We have been fortunate to stay at the Lluis apartment at Placa de la Vila de Gracia, a beautiful local square with many authentic restaurants. For breakfast, we tried Cadaques and the Nabucco Tiramisu, and it was good! For lunch, we did Nou Candanchu ( once the staff will know you, they are super lovely and accommodating). You have to go to Anita Gelato, just 10m away from the apartment- the best ice cream in town! There is also a unique Galician artisan grocery shop; their products are of the best quality with fantastic staff. More food recommendations you can find in my google reviews: https://goo.gl/maps/69Wrd45VqNVDwJTo7
Lluise's apartment was spotless, with one bedroom with the possibility to separate king-size beds into two singles - this is what we did as I was travelling with my best friend. The flat has all the needed appliances and a lovely back terrace where we spend quality time, quiet and comfortable. AirCon is working well; this helped immensely as the heatwave hit the city. The host is very understanding and went the extra mile with small snacks, fruits and drinks delivered to the apartment at our check-in, a lovely touch! I highly recommend it!
