Ricard was a great host. He met us at the apartment to ensure we were able to access it during the big Festa Major de Gracia which was in full swing. He provided us with a map and had a book of information which was very useful during our stay. He even provided specific directions for our cab since we'd be arriving during the Festival and some streets were closed.

We were on our 2 week honeymoon to Spain and spent our time here during the Barcelona leg. The apartment was clean, spacious and sunny. It was exactly what we needed after already spending a week in Madrid, Granada and Seville. We were so happy to have a washer to do some laundry and to have a kitchen so we could eat in a little more relaxed setting than the tapas scene every night. The bed and shower was a little small but we're both big guys.

Gracia is an amazing neighborhood and it was incredible to be there during the festival. The people, the music, the decorations and the neighborhood spirit is a must see. The street "Progres" seems to be the one to beat in the decoration contest for the festival each year so it felt like we were VIPs. Also, there is a tapas bar, La Pepita, just a few blocks away which was one of the best we visited in all of Spain.
