Joana was loverly and let us leave our bags at the apartment in the morning so we didn't have to carry them around the city all day.
The apartment is loverly and has everything you should need. Its large, plenty of warm water, comfy bed. It was a bit noisy in the early evening, with what we can only describe as some sort of working mans club next door. Also lots of kids on the street outside, but by the time you are ready for bed its all quiet. The location is great, 2 minutes from a busy market with loads of fresh fruit, veg, and meats. The area of Gracia is beautiful, lots of little shops, cafes, bars. The local squares are full of life and great to go for some beers in the afternoon. We would highly recommend the restaurant Pepa Tomate, about a 5 min walk.. best food around the area, (tapas) and a great atmosphere. Great value for money, location, everything!
