The apartment has been newly renovated and everything has been done to a high standard.Iit has very nice wooden floors and a large kitchen block; everything was very clean.The location is perfect; a short walk to the center of Gracia and a few minutes to the nearest metro. Being on the 7th floor (access via lift) the apartment is quiet and the balcony offers amazing views of the city. Communication with Ivan was very easy. It was a very pleasant and convenient place to stay and I would try and book this again when in Barcelona.
