Romina's apartment was pristinely clean, a comfortable size, air conditioned, and in a great location. We felt like locals in Grácia, but had quick access to several metro lines within walking distance (5-10 minute-walk). The neighborhood is quiet, but you can find lots of restaurants, people hanging out in small squares, and you're minutes away from beautiful Park Güell.

Prepare to bring your own basic amenities like soap and shampoo for the shower. Only hand soap is provided. The kitchen is stocked with pots and pans, but prepare to buy coffee, tea, cooking oil, spices.

Romina's staff was attentive and helped provide a map, transportation instructions and local recommendations.

My only disappointment is that we were asked to pay 7.50€ in cash upon arrival for local municipal taxes (?) and sign a short-term lease without prior warning. The small additional money is no problem, but this should be built into the price we paid through airbnb.
