We only left Elisabeth's place this morning and I already miss it. She provided so many special touches like books of the area, fresh flowers, wonderful espresso and local dining recommendations. The location of the apartment could not have been better. Easy walk to many great restaurants, shops, Park Guell and Sagrada Familia. Plus, there are taxi's everywhere which we used a few times.....like to Las Ramblas and the train station. After spending five nights at Elisabeth's apartment and doing a few Barcelona tours, there is no doubt we love the Gracia area best. We really hope to go back again.
