Gràcia is the place to stay in Barcelona and we found Simona’s place to be in the center of it all . There is a grand boulevard, plazas, shopping great restaurants, local bars, and excellent transportation. There are buses and a metro stop around the block. Her place was beautiful with brick and exposed wooden beams, four small terraces, sparkling clean bathrooms and the water pressure was just perfect. We did use the fully equipped kitchen, and made full use of the washer and dryer. Check-in was right in time. We Hope to return to Barcelona and Laze in Gràcia. Simona responded quickly to any and all inquiries.
