Location, Location, Location! We recently stayed in Anna & Ivan’s apartment for almost 7 weeks with our 2 toddlers and had a fantastic stay. The location is amazing, close to 3 different stops (Fontana, Gracia and Diagonal) which will get you pretty much anywhere. It’s simply furnished, but very clean and very comfortable. Note: there is a little mold on the bathroom ceiling but other than that everything is in good working order. The terrace is wonderful and great for coffee or vino or even a meal. Although It is surrounded by neighbors we didn’t encounter too many looking over. The apartment is above a heavy metal bar which is open til 3am in the morning and can get a little loud especially on weekends. The noise didn’t bother us at all. Bring some ear plugs if you’re sensitive to noises, but being in the heart of Gracia you’re going to get some noise anywhere. The apartment is on the first floor so you can walk a flight of stairs or there is a very small elevator. There’s plenty of restaurants, bars, cafes and supermarkets around that you can walk to. We really loved staying there and how easy it was to access everything. Note: communication with Hostmaker was a little slow at times prior to arrival but we had no issues with check in on the day and all went smoothly.
