We really loved staying in Gracia in this house. It was very roomy for the four of us and the photos don't quite do it justice. We had everything we needed in the fridge and there are a couple of little markets in the neighborhood. Park Guell is very close by and we enjoyed walking there in the evening after the heat of the day subsided a bit. The main center of Gracia is not far away (we cabbed but you can walk) and there are lots of squares where locals hang out and eat and listen to music. Everything we ate was delicious. We ended up cabbing more than expected because we had someone with knee issues and it is hilly but it is pretty close to get to the main city, placa catalunya, sagrada familia. We also spent time at the beach, outside of town at the water park, up in the hills near the tram and Miro museum and at the FC Barcelona site. We got to those areas on the on/off bus. It is very quiet at night and we always felt safe. We used the terrace a bit but it was very warm when we went. Lots of tables and common areas to eat, talk. We worked with one contact who was always close by. We had to check in late and pay a fee but we were able to get into the house very late. One thing for future travelers. We stayed in other places in Spain but only in Barcelona were we asked for passports and other information that is required by the Spanish government which took us off guard initially.
