Would ABSOLUTELY recommend staying at Ricard’s place. Ricard was a lovey host from before arriving till after we left, he is super communicative and helpful. We loved the binders with all the local tips and useful information for the apartment. It honestly felt like a home away from home right in the heart of Gràcia. The location was perfect, a much better location than the touristy gothic district. There are numerous cafes, great restaurants, markets and you are in walking (a nice walk) distance of the Sagrada family and Parc Guell. The apartment exceeded our expectations, it honestly looks better than the photos! Stay here.
