This is a fantastic apartment in the heart of Gracia for a couple. Mireia's communication was always very responsive and she is very generous. Our introduction by Dora, Mireia's co host, who was waiting for us at the apartment, was very smooth and easy. It is a lovely, quirky apartment in a quiet street. We enjoyed the sunlight drenching the living room and bedroom through the large opening windows off the small balcony that looks down onto the street. The interior is really homely as much as it is interesting, with Mireia's wonderful collections of books, art, vintage objects and comfortable furniture. The bed was also very comfortable. The shower pressure and hot water was perfect. The kitchen is well equipped and we enjoyed cooking a few breakfasts and dinners during our stay. It was also very handy having a washing machine inside the apartment. The location was superb , within very close proximity to many amazing restaurants, boutique shops, plazas, markets and the buses & Metro. Look no further, this is a fantastic place to stay in Barcelona.
