The apartment was very nice and spacious. Decor was the perfect mix of old style tiles, brick wall and wooden ceiling beams with updated modern touches like stone shower with large shower head, first I've seen in a European apartment! Also kitchen is updated with new appliances and counter tops.

We were there in August when it was hot, but even though there is no air conditioning you can get a nice cross breeze by opening large back windows and front room balcony windows and Sven has a large fan that helps as well.

The front balcony looks over a cute square and there are plenty of cute cafes right around the corner! There is plenty of space for storing your belongings with a big walk in closet in the hall.

Sven was very nice and kept in contact about checking in and details about the apartment, and his friend Lana who checked us in was very nice as well.

Overall I would highly recommend this apartment it's very comfortable and Gracia is a cute local neighborhood that is not far from anything via the metro and a quick walk to Parc Guell.
