Pilar's apartment was a excellent choice. We loved the location -- Gracia isn't right next door to tourist sites, but you can reach them easily enough. And what you get instead is vibrant neighborhood with excellent cafes and restaurants and an apartment on a quiet street to return home to each evening. The apartment is small but comfortable and clean, and has everything you need. Pilar was accommodating and even arranged rides to and from the airport for a very reasonable price. Our week's stay in Barcelona was perfect. Thank you!
