This flat is located in a great area in the Gracia neighborhood. It feels very local there, near shops, restaurants, markets, plazas, and a general lovely bustle. The flat was clean and comfortable. We had two kids and two elderly folks with us and were all very happy with the space. If you are staying in the bedrooms closer to the busier street, I recommend ear plugs, only because you can hear the fun every now and again. But, certainly nothing major. Also, if you have trouble with stairs, there is a little bit of a climb to get to the flat. Again, very do-able, but for folks with trouble walking, just something to keep in mind. All in all, this flat was just perfect and we very much enjoyed our stay. Simona was very responsive and even accommodated is when we had to come a day early! Thank you for some wonderful of Barcelona!
