I really enjoyed staying at Joan’s place. It was very clean and the space was well designed. The balcony is quite large and was a nice spot for a meal. The place also has a washer/dryer and a nice shelf/space for dealing with laundry, putting your luggage etc. I found the location to be ideal- Gracia is a really nice area, there are plenty of places to eat and shop and it is easy to get to major attractions. Check in uses a secondary website which adds a step but was well explained and pretty straightforward. Joan was an extremely responsive host. I would definitely stay there again.
