We loved our stay at Alessandro's place. The apartment is lovely and has a nice terrace. It is in the Gracia neighborhood which is filled with restaurants, independent shops, bakeries, grocery stores and town squares. La Sagrada Family is a 10 minute walk, Park Guell is a 10 minute walk in a different direction. The #4 metro line is a block away and will take you right to the heart of the city, quick and easy.
The bed was comfortable and it was so quiet at night. It was hard to believe we were in a big city. The kitchen is well stocked with equipment and spices, oil, tea, coffee. Everything we needed to make a few meals at home and get the day going in the morning. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend.
