We were a little bit apprehensive about taking three kids on their first city break but we needn't have worried... Silvia's place really made our trip relaxing, easy and fun. The place is lovely, just as described and as the photos, and for a family (or adults) the location is brilliant. Silvia was such a lovely host, waiting for us on arrival with juice, biscuits, tea, coffee. So helpful and friendly! The apartment has many things to make a family stay easier, we did not come accross anything we needed but didn't find there. The washing machine/dryer is a godsend for a family travelling light. Gracia is a great area for eating out with kids - close by you will find freshly made burgers, fresh pasta, huge slices of pizza, tapas, churros and chocolate and so much more. Loads of unique shops and supermarkets (several options) within easy reach. We walked up to Parc Güell with relative ease and the centre of town is closer than you might think - we walked back from the Ramblas area, admittedly piggybacking the littlest one most of the way! Metro close by and easy to navigate (buy a T10 ticket).
We had one of our best holidays ever and would without doubt stay here again. Thank you Silvia!
