We loved our stay in Ricard's apartment in the Gracia section of Barcelona! It was my family's first visit to Barcelona (we were visiting my youngest daughter who is studying abroad there) so I did a lot of research about areas to stay and this neighborhood was great. We spent a lot of time exploring different shops and restaurants in the area and for visits to other areas in the city and beyond it was super easy to use the Free Now app to order a taxi. The apartment was perfectly sized for 4 adults with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms so we never felt too cramped. Everything we needed was supplied including umbrellas which was helpful since it rained nearly every day we were there! The check-in/check-out process was easy and Ricard has a great book inside the apartment with all kinds of useful information. We would not hesitate to book this apartment again on our next trip to Barcelona and hopefully next time we will be able to sit outside on the cute patio and get some sun :) Thanks Ricard!
