Barbara's apartment was in a great location on the cusp of the Village de Gracia, a wonderful pedestrian-friendly neighborhood in Barcelona with many shops and restaurants, but without all the tourists. Barbara reached out to me in advance of our arrival and met us as the apartment around 8pm, where she gave us great recommendations and tips for our stay. She also created a guide of nearby restaurants that we found useful. The apartment was spacious with all of the necessary amenities. It was also nice that the building had an elevator.
