The flat/studio was perfect for me and my girlfriend. The fact that it had its own private terrace on the roof was the icing on the cake. The location is exactly what I wanted, non touristy (minus me and my girlfriend), amongst the locals, lively, good views, next to a courtyard full of happy/friendly people, bars galore, great eateries everywhere, tons of mom n pop shops, old town feel, walking distance to many things including a convenience store right across the building. Perfecto! Loved every minute of our first journey out to Spain and plan on doing many more with this place in mind. Loved Gracia. Much appreciation to David for hosting and assisting us when needed. Had our taxi at the front door when we were ready to head out to the airport. Much thanks buddy.
Now just a heads up, the shower is pretty small but doable. I wouldnt let this hold you back. And if you're there on a weekend (Saturday) the neighbors might party. We just happened to be visiting while the neighbors were having one. The walls were pretty solid so it wasnt too loud. But everytime their front door opened you can clearly hear fun going on. I was tired so I slept good but my girlfriend on the other hand doesn't sleep well to begin with so it wasnt so great for her. But sometimes that can be expected with sharing walls. I still wouldn't let this hold me back from staying here. But just wanted to make note of that.
Public transportation is great. There's no uber currently available in Spain but the trains, subs, buses and taxis all work very well. We took a train out to Figueres (Dali Museum) which is just under an hr on the train. Its just a few blocks walk, a subway and a train away from this airbnb. Loved the public trans.
Oh and another note, im not familiar with an electric stoves but to get it working, you need to place something heavy enough on it ;)
Anyway, hope this post was helpful. Enjoy!! We did :)
