Ricard's place in Gracia was just what we were hoping for: relaxing, comfortable, with the amenities we wanted (e.g. washer, A/C, balcony), and in a location where we felt we weren't surrounded by tourists but rather by locals. We were able to walk to Parc Guell and the Sagrada Familia, as well as to several grocery stores and endless restaurants. We were also convenient to the Metro for going to Barceloneta. Ricard was very responsive to our questions and needs, and check-in was the fastest of the four air bnbs on our trip. I highly recommend!!!
