The apartment is an adorable set-up and we really enjoyed the patio and being able to open the sliding glass doors to let in fresh air and admire the beautiful view! The location in Gracia is convenient for walking to La Pedrera, where there is a Hop On/Hop Off bus stop. Otherwise, we used taxis, which were not too expensive. Unfortunately, we had an issue with ants in the kitchen and found that the apartment was very dusty. The entire building also had a very strong odor of mold and mildew--and an odor of urine in the entryway. We had bad allergies and all of this gave us major headaches. Also, some of the pillows and rugs in the space had a lot of wear and could be replaced.
We felt safe and comfortable in the area-- there was a popular local pizza spot just across the street and a nice bakery, grocery store, and ATM just a few minutes walk away. Nonetheless, the enjoyment of our stay was dimmed by the lack of cleanliness and the odor issues.
