In my opinion, Jordi's apartment is in the absolute best location in Barcelona: right within the hip, local neighborhood of Gracia, but on the edge so that the rest of the city is super accessible. (Barcelona is small city, all things considered, so getting around is a breeze.) I'm not sure how you like to travel, but I'm always looking for the local experience, and Gracia is that. Great restaurants, bars, four or five lovely plazas where you can grab a coffee, beer or some tapas and watch the world go by. Very little of the cramped tourist energy that you get elsewhere in the city. Jordi's place is great: spacious but cozy, a great home to come back to after a long day. All the amenities you could need. The beds are comfy and the bedrooms are back from the street, so you hear no street noise at night, just beautiful silence. Four flights of stairs, but we got used to it quickly. (We're 30-somethings, for reference.) Jordi is responsive and kind, a consummate host. I was sad to leave. Thanks Jordi for a wonderful stay in a wonderful city.
