Ricard was extremely helpful both on arrival and on departure. The flat is as advertised, and the morning view of the Sagrada Familia cathedral from the rooftop terrace was excellent every day, and a great way to start the day. The kitchen is good, the bed is excellent, and it is a very quiet neighbourhood. I was there for six weeks, and it was very useful to have the washing machine and the decent kitchen. Gracia is very handy for virtually anything in Barcelona, a 15 minute walk to the Sagrada Familia, and plenty of nearby shops and restaurants, including an excellent one on the street. I would recommend this apartment to anyone.
