During my trip Pep's home became my own home. He did all the necessary to make my stay as comfortable as possible. He is kind and responsive. Even while being sick he supported me where possible. Besides that he enjoys to interact, to share travel trips and/or to take his guests on a hiking trip. This may not be a place for those who wish to retreat themselves. The flat is spacious, well maintained and very clean. The bedroom is cozy and has a desk and wardrobe (very convenient to store clothes). The room has a French door with a small balcony overlooking the street. It is worth mentioning that during the evening and night it can be a bit noisy in the street. There is also a large rooftop terrace where you can relax. If you like to stay near the center, yet prefer to avoid the big crowds and boulevards, then Gràcia is a great choice. It is a local, Bohemian quarter (like a village in the city) with plenty of bars, little shops and squares. I really enjoyed my stay!
