My mother and I had the best to stay in this apartment. It was in a great location in Gracia, close to good Subway connections and great restaurants and cafes. I loved walking up to Carrer Verdi, just an 8 minute walk up the street. Great shops and eating places there.
The area of Gracia had a real Community feel to it and a nice energy.
I must also mention that Laia was very helpful to us during our time in Barcelona. :-)
