Staying in this apartment was delightful due to the outstanding location, spacious floor plan and Javier's warm reception. This is not a sterile corporate hotel suite, but an authentic Gracia apartment with charming architectural elements and everthing one would need to have a peaceful comfortable stay in Barcelona. We slept peacefully and enjoyed relaxing in the large livingroom overlooking the plaza. There was no issue with street noise and it was an asset to be located next to a vibrant plaza. The apartment is very charming, yet functional and accomodating. The metros are easily accessible, the neighborhood is very safe and the apartment has a pleasant calming natural light. I would recommend this place to families as well because there is room to spread out and there is a large dining table for preparing excellent meals in a well-appointed kitchen. This is definitely a place that will enhance your positive experience of staying in Barcelona.
