The apartment was spotless and very quaint with beautiful floor tiles. It is in a residential area but a great bakery (Farina & sons) and nice little park are nearby. We didn’t do much in Gracia but the metro is just around the corner so access to the rest of the city is very easy. Next time we might like to be in the older, more historic part of the city, we are tourists after all! But we would definitely book with Phil and Fiona again. They were very friendly, accommodating, and quick to respond to our questions both before and during our stay.
