The listing description was very accurate - Kris's flat is lovely and peaceful, with a large terrace overlooking the back. The Gracia neighborhood is a welcome change from the hectic inner city, with people of all ages strolling along. It was very easy to walk or take the metro to anywhere.

We didn't meet Kris as she was on vacation but her friend met us upon arrival. Kris checked in with us several times to make sure all was ok and make recommendations. We highly recommend the corner restaurant "The Glop" where the plates are large enough to share.

The only minor concern is that the bedrooms face the street. If you're not used to city living, the garbage collection will wake you up early!
