Marta+Paul's place was just like the pictures. Gracia is a fantastic neighborhood with such great people and so many places to eat, drink, and be merry. The terrace is beautiful (even in rainy November!) and perfect for relaxing if you get a moment. The apartment itself is very simply furnished but it has what you need. No shampoo in the shower or laundry detergent, but there is a shop downstairs if you need it, and there is hand soap.
We arrived earlier than expected to Barcelona and couldn't check in early, which was fine as there was a lovely square at the corner with benches. However, just before we boarded our flight I received a message that we would not have the crib as requested (we brought our 10 month old baby with us). The message also curtly stated that the crib is "subject to availability." We had booked the place back in August, three months before our reservation, and requested the crib at that time.
In the future, if a requested crib is not available, please let the family know in time to cancel the reservation. Not having a crib was very difficult for us and made the stay uncomfortable, and per the rules and "subject to availability" claim that was made in the message, it was impossible for us to get a new place and a refund. We could have done this if it was stated at the time of booking that there would be no crib. Being upfront about details like this makes a world of difference!
Otherwise, we appreciated the place for being in a great neighborhood, easy building access and for it being so clean on arrival, and of course the gorgeous terrace. It just makes a big difference when you have three people and only a double bed. If you are a single person or a couple, this place would probably pose no issues for you.
