Richards apartment is perfect in every aspect - a huge plus was a lift in the building & excellent security. one street away is the bus 39 to the Metro. Quaint delis, supermarkets,cafes, patisseries , bars & restaurants dot the surrounding streets. Goliard Samsara, Cafe Pages , Bar Pepita excellent spots. So pleased we stayed in a safe , easy, local neighbourhood rather than in tourist trap central - Gràcia has everything you need & more and Richards apt the ideal home away from home .
