It was a wonderful area, very close to the metro station. Phillippe was great when available. Upon arrival he gave us a city map and nice packet of recommendations for sightseeing, restaurants, etc., all with directions. The super downside to the lovely home is that they have a VERY small toilet room. I'm 5'10", husky, and I could not properly do my business because I didn't fit. That's just the only thing. Other than that Gràcia is a fun neighborhood, local. You got the market and supermarket down the street, the metro is a 5 minute walk, and great food spots. Would've have liked to interacted more with the hosts in person to get more of a cultural experience, but oh well. Thank you.
