Lara’s apartment was the perfect spot for our New Years getaway! The location was exceptional! Right in the middle of the best neighborhood in Barcelona with some of the best bars and restaurants right at your doorstep. I was so glad we decided to stay in Gràcia and not in a more touristy area. That said, all of the tourist attractions are an easy walk or cab ride away. It’s absolutely worth an additional 5 minute walk here or there to know you’ll be coming home to the awesomeness of the Gràcia area every evening!
The apartment was a good size for our family of 4 (including 2 teenagers). The second bedroom is pretty small but our kids get along well so that wasn’t an issue. The space heaters kept the place warm and the shower always had good hot water. The beds were very comfortable too!
The steps leading up to the apartment are no joke when bringing up/down luggage but with all the good food in Barcelona... any extra exercise is good exercise! The other benefit to being up high is that we had no issue with street noise.
Definitely take Lara’s restaurant recommendations... specifically Santa Gula and Kibuka!
Thank you Lara! We had a blast!
