We had a very pleasant stay at Beatriz' flat. The neighborhood is quiet and you're not far from the main part of Grácia, which is beautiful. Our favorite night was spent drinking vermut and eating tapas at Dalt de tot, a bar just a few blocks away, where I think we were the only tourists. It was great to have our own bathroom, which seemed hard to come by when looking at rooms in BCN in this price range. We were comfortable, and Beatriz was very kind and very responsive. We enjoyed sitting on the terrace with a glass of wine )even if it wasn't warm enough). Beatriz has two kids (over the age of 10) who are sometimes there- we barely saw them but they were both sweet. The flat is not far from the metro, which makes it easy to quickly get downtown, but to walk is also excellent! You get to see so much on your way. And the lift was very helpful after an entire day of walking. Funny thing about floor numbers in BCN - floor "3" may actually be 6 fights up :) Anyways, staying with Beatriz was convenient, affordable, comfortable, and un-fussy. It was easy to communicate and we appreciated the neighborhood. Thank you again Beatriz!
