This apartment is a lovely place to stay. We especially loved having lunch on the balcony, with the awning pulled out, listening to the sounds of people hanging out in Plaça del Nord below. So lively (but not too loud), with children, people walking their dogs, and groups enjoying the cafe. The neighborhood is not touristy at all, though you can walk uphill to Park Guell in about 20 minutes. So many great restaurants in the Gracia neighborhood and a hip vibe. Felt very safe too. In the apartment itself we appreciated the electric blinds that blocked light for sleeping, the washing machine, the amenities in the kitchen, and Eleonora’s decorating touches. We hope to come back soon.
