This apartment is in Gracia, which is a less touristy area than some others in Barcelona, but that’s what we liked about it. We felt as though we were in the “real” Barcelona. The apartment is on a quiet street, but it looks out (from terraces on both sides) to the Sagrada Familia on one side, and Tibidado on the other. The living room was spacious, the kitchen compact, but more than adequate, and the bedroom was comfortable and quiet. The shower was a bit small, but the water pressure was great and the hot water plentiful. All in all, this is a great place to stay in Barcelona, and we’d stay there again in a heartbeat.
