Eva&Jacques' place was great. There is no better area to stay in Barcelona than the barrio of Gracia, which is a wonderful neighbor of Catalans and expats with great pride in their neighborhood. Too many small streets, shops, cafes, plazas, restaurants, bars and small night clubs to see in a week. Bus and metro connections both close to the apartment and Gracia is a great starting point for walking the city in all directions. The apartment is enormous by Barcelona standards with ample room from 2-3 families or a large group of friends. The 6 bathrooms were more than necessary. The AC provided a break from the July heat and humidity. The apartment is located on a busy street and above the metro, but street noise was limited to front two bedrooms and did not impact our comfort. The kitchen/dining room and terraces were ample common spaces. The kitchen was perfect for breakfast and snacks, though the two-burner cooktop may not be adequate for preparation of a large dinner. Overall a great value and comfortable place we will rent again.
