Marcello is extremely kind and communicative! I had a rocky travel getting to Spain and Marcello was so flexible with my check-in time, which was very comforting during a stressful time! He was quick to respond to my messages and very professional.
Pros: The AirBnB is about a 10 minute walk from the center of Gràcia, so the neighborhood is quiet with lots of families. Not super touristy so I really felt like a local! And there’s a grocery store and a convenience store right down the street, and a pharmacy directly across which made shopping a breeze. As well as Park Guell being right above! I never felt unsafe in the neighborhood, it’s well lit. The apartment itself was stylish and was nice to relax at after a long day of classes. An L3 metro station was just a block away which was super convenient for commuting and traveling around town.
Cons: Aren’t really any windows except for a frosted one on the West, so not a lot of natural light if that’s something you are looking for. The apartment is on the first floor which is nice if you have luggage, groceries, etc, but I did end up having a small mouse problem because of how easy it was for them to get in. (They were very cute though). The area is VERY hilly, so if you have any physical issues that make it hard to navigate that kind of terrain I would suggest looking for something closer to the city center.
