My top tip is don't stay anywhere else in Barcelona! The Gracia neighborhood is such an amazing place and we were extremely lucky to catch the end of the fiesta, a truly memorable experience. The neighborhood, is safe, friendly and full of fantastic restaurants and bars. After each day exploring we were so grateful to come back to the area and more importantly Margot's fantastic home. Margot has thought of everything, it is like a home from home, beds were so comfortable, shower was fabulous, and not forgetting the wonderful organic toiletries that were supplied. I was so grateful for the fresh milk as I could have my morning cuppa :) . Also the patio was such a lovely oasis to sit and have breakfast, or just chill ! Another tip is if there are 3 or more of you, get a taxi from the airport, and for traveling around the area, works out cheaper than the metro! When we arrived we got the airport bus to Placa Catalunya and then the metro to Gracia, which for 3 of us cost about 28 euros, on our return Margot booked us a Taxi which arrived at exactly the correct time and only cost us 32 euros, so much more convenient. Prior to arrival Margot's response to my queries were acted on so quickly. In summary such an amazing experience and cant wait to return, thank you Margot :)
