We had a wonderful stay in Ricard's Gràcia appartment. It was spacious, tastefully decorated (Ikea feel) and everything felt very new. Most of all, it was super clean and quiet. Gràcia is the best neighbourhood in town! In Ricard's absence, his friend David gave us both a warm welcome and a very friendly goodbye. Prior to our arrival, I must say, Ricard was crazy quick in his responses to any questions we had, which was very helpful. Big recommend (if you don't mind the price tag that comes with staying in popular Barcelona)!
