This apartment has an amazing location in the Graçia neighborhood. While there's lots of activity in the area it's nowhere near as loud as the main (more touristy) sections of town. We spent way more time than expected exploring Graçia and enjoying the shops, restaurants and vermuterias. The local market is only a 10 minute walk away and the produce and quality of meats/fish/cheeses can't be beat. We loved the layout of the apartment which gave us the ability to have the kids stay in the front bedroom while we enjoyed additional privacy in the back bedroom. And the courtyard can't be beat!
