This apartment is in the Gracia neighborhood which is a fantastic area in Barcelona. You really feel like you are in a small town when you are staying there. The apartment is very close to a metro so it's very easy to get any place in Barcelona. Alex is a wonderful host and explained everything about the apartment in detail. We felt safe there. The bedrooms slept all 4 of us very comfortably.
The apartment is a converted workroom. The ceiling in the kitchen is lower. But this is not true of the rest of the apartment. This apartment is on the corner of two small streets. There is a lot of pedestrian traffic and you can hear people talking, etc at night. We are sound sleepers so this did not bother us.
The apartment is at street level however, it feels like it is a basement apartment - at least in the main area.
We were very comfortable and felt good about our experience in Alex and Gemma's apartment.
