Hello traveler! - If you are debating among a few choices in places to stay (I was in your shoes a few weeks ago), and are considering this one, let me tell you. THIS IS THE ONE! Absolutely gorgeous apartment, in the wonderful neighborhood of Gracia, easy walking distance to so many incredible restaurants, bars, cafes and sights. The moment I stepped through the door for the first time, honestly - I immediately FaceTime Video'd my friends back at home in NYC, and bragged about this incredible AirBnB I found (whatta friend I am, right??). The apartment is clean, spacious, has a beautiful balcony (where I enjoyed many a glass of cold cava on a warm night, coffees in the mornings, and many contemplative reflections during the day). Gracia is a wonderful neighborhood, and if you're looking for a "living like a local" experience - this is it. Nearby bakeries, fruit stands, plazas (where you can life that relaxed European cafe life) let you immerse yourself in Barcelona's beauty. And when you want to go visit the sights and attractions, the walk throughout the town is simply magical.
I'm so thankful to the hosts of the apartment - at "minute one", I was shared recommendations to cool bars & restaurants, which seriously made my trip so special and memorable. As you can see, I could keep gushing - but key take away: This is an incredibly special apartment, and if you choose it, I think you're going to be so glad you did. Safe and pleasant travels!
