A very plain entry door yields a beautiful, spacious apartment. It is well equipped for cooking with basic ingredients for your first nights stay - (especially morning coffee as we arrived late and tired). Groceries, good restaurants, and access to the Metro all within short walking distance. The garden is a wonderful outdoor addition to the busy city outside offering fresh air, an assortment of plants, birds and a small pond. Host supplied a list of excellent restaurants in the Gracia District - we highly recommend. Teresa lives above the apartment and is available for needs; we requested a fan and it was supplied within an hour. Great place and plan to return!
