The neighborhood of Gracia was an amazing area to stay. The metro was just steps away which made getting around the city very easy. There were some amazing cafes and restaurants in the area. The place was very clean and had everything we needed, but was very small for two. Could be cramped for a longer stay, but works well if you are planning to spend most of your time out and about. Would be perfect for a solo traveler. John and his wife were very flexible and made sure we had everything we needed.
