I can't even begin to describe just how perfect staying with Xavi and Luna was! Xavi was a charming host helping us arrange travel into and out of Barcelona. The apartment is beautiful and far more spacious than the pictures suggest. It is well stocked should you wish to cook (we didn't) and Xavi kindly provided milk, juice and a lovely bottle of wine. Towels and hairdryer are provided along with toiletries. The terrace is perfect and each evening we would relax in the sun with a bottle of cava - absolute bliss!

Gracia was a great base for our trip. I was there with my mum and (very fit) 85year old grandmother who easily managed the 15minute walk to sagrada familla and also to park guell. The underground stop is very close which takes you into the heart of the gothic town however one day we pleasantly strolled down!

We ate in gracia each night and like previous posts highly recommend lata bern and also mi gracia just around the corner. We found a gorgeous square for post dinner drinks, which was great as made you feel you were where the locals went rather than a tourist hot spot!

You'd be foolish to stay anywhere else!
