This was our first time in the Gracia and we could not have been happier with our choice. The area and the location of the apartment is so lovely, with full of life and local lifestyle, gathering together around beautiful plazas and at many of the cafes and bars next the them. We were a family with 2 small children, ages of 1,5 years and 4,5 years old. There was a small playground within 1 minute walking, very handy for small children. The apartment itself is as described, very beautiful and authentic. The patio is the highlight Of the apartment, It was so wonderful to sit there in the evenings, and to enjoy breakfast outdoors in the mornings. Only thing to consider for other guests is if you are able to bear with a little bit of warmer temperature indoors during the hottest time Of the year (like it was for us) as there is no airconditioning. Fans that are in every room make a nice work but I understand that this is not enough for everybody. We managed well, also the kids. Silvia was the kindest host one could hope for, and she took good care of us. We would definately choose to stay in Gracia and in this lovely, old house again!
