I highly recommend Ana's apartment. It is in a quiet street that is on the edge of the charming Gracia neighborhood and adjacent to Sagrada Familia and the Eixample. There are all kinds of amenities including shops and the lovely food market. The apartment is near Passeig de Sant Joan, a long walkable boulevard that has parks and monuments in the middle. The apartment is beautiful, carefully restored Modernista architectural details including a variety of 19th century floor tiles, two balconies and very high ceilings. The bedroom is comfortable and the apartment is quiet and if you need to work, there is a large table. Ana was very accommodating for the late check in when my flight was delayed 3 hours and the airline lost my luggage! She was always responsive. Be aware that, if you have any mobility issues, be aware that there is a high single step to get into and out of the shower.
