Belén and Pedro's place is a great base for Barcelona. In the very lovely local, family-friendly area (just slightly out of the tourist areas, but very walkable and livable, within steps from the wonderful squares, shopping, restaurants, tapas bars, and evocative side streets of Gracia), it was a perfect base for our family vacation. There's a wonderful grocery store literally next door, and what turned out to be some of our favorite places in all of Barcelona (including the very convenient Fontana Metro stop within a five-to-ten-minute walk). The apartment is fantastic (as good as it looks online!) Spacious, clean, stylish... decently stocked with basic cooking supplies and lots of thoughtful touches (including shampoo, shower gel, spare combs/toothbrushes if you forgot to pack yours) and complimentary beer, juice, and milk, a few Nespresso capsules, and some bowls of snacks left out our first day. They also have an honor "mini bar" in the fridge (a nice touch). It was great to have a washer (with laundry capsules provided!), and laundry line for air drying. Air conditioning was super reliable and made the hot afternoons very comfortable. Our favorite details were the back patio with mood lights and that amazing bedroom bathtub. Fantastic rainfall showers in beautifully remodeled bathrooms, too! All on a quiet side-street in the heart of this great neighborhood. Can't imagine a better place to stay in Barcelona... and hope to return someday!
