We were welcomed by Federico ( a friend of Marta) who was very friendly. The apartment is really beautiful with original tiled floors and very tall ceilings. It is has a modern bathroom and kitchen and it is very clean and well furnished. The apartment is located in a great position, just a block away from Passeig de Gracia and also near to a metro stop. It is also well placed for exploring Gracia. Just opposite the apartment there is also a fantastic bakery that makes delicious croissants and bread. Overall,this is a great apartment in the heart of Barcelona and I would highly recommend it.
