My wife and I stayed at Claudio’s place for about three months while I was working in Barcelona. Claudio is an incredibly warm, kind and attentive host, and has provided us a new friend in Barcelona. He was VERY available during our entire stay to answer questions about the apartment of to give hints on dining or even his favorite chocolate and churros shop. Our comfort was his top priority. The apartment was very clean upon our arrival. He kindly offered periodic cleaning services during our prolonged stay. The neighborhood offers all of the amenities one could want including grocery stores, bakeries, bodegas, and a great restaurant on the corner called Platerets (reservations, Carrer de Milà i Fontanals, 29). The apartment is a 10-15 minute walk to the Verduger (blue and yellow lines), Joanic (yellow line), and Diagonal (a major hub) metro stations. You can get to just about anywhere in Gracia, to the Sagrada Familia, or to the Sant Pau Recinte Modernista, in a 15 minute walk.
The lift is great to get suitcases up and down to the top floor. The kitchen is well equipped. The upstairs deck is a wonderful space for breakfast or to end the day with a glass of wine and some cheese. The bedroom is large with ample closet space and the bed is comfortable. I would highly recommend Claudio and his lovely apartment for your stay in Barcelona.
