Our Casa Granada experience exceeded all of our hopes and expectations for our stay in Barcelona. Our hosts, Drew & Tamar were extremely responsive to any questions we had in advance of our visit. From the airport, transportation was seamless utilizing The Aerobus (6 Euros) and arriving at Plaza Caralyna, only a ten minute walk (or quick cab) from the apartment. Upon arrival, Lee (the very friendly and knowledgeable property manager), met us and gave us an overview of the apartment and recommendations on restaurants and sites in the surrounding area. The freshly decorated apartment has tall ceilings, is light and bright, and decorated in very cheerful colors. We were very comfortable in our "home away from home" for sleeping (very quiet), snacking, and relaxing (wifi works great!). The kitchen is beautiful and fully equipped and there is a market right down the street to purchase drinks and groceries. We were drawn to the excitement on the streets and chose to eat all our meals out and enjoy the various tapas bars and cafes. Directly downstairs the walk street offers many opportunities to enjoy the locals and grab coffee and pastries or tapas & drinks most hours of the day and night. Right next door is a wonderful cafe for coffee and pastries or baguette & cheese (or ham) sandwiches for breakfast. We found the food overall in Barcelona to be excellent and especially enjoyed our meal at "Tickets" which is an incredible gastronomy experience (go online to make reservations three months in advance). The location of the apartment is ideal because all the neighborhoods are easily accessed via metro or walking and yet offers you a more "local" experience. Every evening we were excited to return to Casa Granada to rest and recuperate from our activities on Barcelona's vibrant streets. When it came time to leave after our three day stay, we were already discussing a return trip to Casa Granada and Barcelona. We still have so much to explore and experience....we will definitely be back!
