If you are looking for an apartment to experience an authentic Barcelona vacation this is the apartment for you. We had a great time staying at this place in the Gracia area. We were in walking distance to many great restaurants and bars. Most reasonably priced. The metro was a short walk also. Grocery stores and bakeries were also close by. As others have said there are steep stairs to the second and third levels. We were 4 active women in our 60’s and didn’t have a problem, however we are active and walk everywhere. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed and we had plenty of towels. The only issue was the hot water. We could only take two showers, after that we lost hot water for some time. We worked it out by 2 of us taking evening showers and 2 taking morning ones. Remember this is not a luxury hotel, we will look back at our time here with wonderful memories. If we return to Barcelona we would stay again.
