Joana's apartment is in a great location, right in the center of Gracia, one block from the Market and near all the main walking streets. Also very easy to get to the Diagonal metro. Being a ground floor apartment, it had the usual level of street noise, but is on a quiet street so really no problems at all. She had warned us that there might be some noise at night, but we did not even notice and had no problem sleeping. The place is impeccably clean, with everything you need to cook. Joana was a gracious host and I would be happy to stay here again!
