We had a wonderful stay at Alejandro's home. The location was perfect, close to public transport and lots of places to eat. We loved staying in Gracia!
In terms of amenities, we recommend bringing some shampoo and bath wash with you. There are stairs up to the apartment to be mindful of too. These were not major issues for us as we were prepared.
Thank you Alejandro for making us feel welcome on our first stay in Barcelona.
