Although we didn't see Kris during our time at her apartment, we had a great time! Kris helped us via text messages and there we're some friends to welcome us.
The apartment is very convenient. You have your 2-persons room and at the top (third) floor you'll find a terrace. We didn't use the kitchen, but you can cook or do the laundry if you want.

The room is at the second floor with a small terrace looking at the street. But it really isn't noisy. Once you close the windows, you nearly hear anything. You can darken the room completely thanks to the window stores. Can be interesting if you go out until 8 am :)

I personally love Gràcia, the village right above Diagonal/Passeig de Gràcia in Barcelona, where the apartment is located. It's the kind of place you visit Barcelona if you have more than 5 days, but for me - as I know the city very well - it's my starting point to guide everyone around in Barcelona and have dinner and botellons at night.

You can rent a bike at cheap prices in Gràcia in the Carrer del Perill 28 (rentabikebarcelona dot com - Felix will help you and give advice).

Just opposite the apartment you have a good Italian retaurant.
To the left you have a very nice cocktail bar Châtelet.
Very close you'll find the best gin tonics in Elephanta.
The apartment is only 5 to 10 minutes walking of the market, of the main shopping/food area in Gràcia (Carrer Verdi). In Gràcia you'll also find the best barber: LaBarberia dot net. And you have 2 cinemas (9 rooms) showing movies in original language with Spanish subtitles.

If you want more tips on Barcelona or Gràcia, visit my Airbnb-apartment in Gent (Belgium) first. I'll share all information :) Barcelona and Gent are two cities you should have seen at least once in your life! You know where to stay in both cities!

Thanks for everything, Kris!

PS During our stay we had problems with the internetconnection. Kris tried to help as much as possible. We managed by going more to bars with wifi :)
