It was a real pleasure meeting Klaus. The apartment is beautiful and suited our needs perfectly. The apartment is on the second floor and can be a little noisy at night if you sleep with the windows open. The city comes to life at night so you will hear people talking, motorini driving by etc. This goes on until about 2:00 a.m. Upon our arrival, the fridge was stocked with a few beverages and cookies were provided for breakfast. We found this to be a special touch. Klaus really thinks about his guests needs. A grocery store is located about one minute away and a bike rental is downstairs from the apartment. You can rent a bike for nine euros a day. A great way to see Barcelona.
Klaus was in touch with us throughout our stay to ensure we were doing well.
On the day of departure, Klaus booked us a taxi. Definitely the way to go. It actually cost us a few euros less...
The Gracia area is beautiful. Strolling the streets at night one is immersed with the locals. If you plan on walking everywhere, be sure to wear comfortable shoes. We did (except for when we took the bikes) and were exhausted by 9:00 p.m. A great stay and will return when in Barcelona. A big thank you to Klaus for providing a beautiful apartment.
