The apartment was true to the pictures. We felt both comfortable and safe in this neighborhood. We were within walking distance to Sagrada Familia, shopping, and many restaurants in the Gracia neighborhood. Public transportation was conveniently accessible and easy to use. Marcos was a very kind and friendly host. He was attentive to our needs at arrival and checked in with us during our stay to make sure all was well. It really was a fabulous apartment that helped us enjoy our visit to Catalonia.
