We enjoyed our stay in Ras' flat. He is very kind and sharing his appartment with him was uncomplicated and relaxed. Located in the district of Gracia everything needed is within reach, especially a handful of quality restaurants. The nice view from his balcony is really noteworthy. Besides that, you may need to use public transport (we preferred the bus) to e.g. go to the beach or to the port. Having some endurance, you can also walk 40 minutes each way. Overall, we couldn't be happier to have had the opportunity to stay out of the crowded Gotic, Rambla & Raval districts. Once again, thanks for everything Ras!
