If you’re looking for the perfect location for a Barcelona stay, I think this might be it! On a gorgeous little street, right next to a square with the most perfect bars and cafes - and very easy access to Fontana metro station which takes you straight into town and near the beach. Easy walk from the apartment to sagrada familia and parc guell. The area felt very buzzy and safe with our children - we’d highly recommend the Gracia area for a great base from which to explore.
Apartment is very quiet - excellent soundproofing - we didn’t hear anything until we opened the door onto the balcony!
4th floor wasn’t a problem for us but might be if mobility was an issue. Extra steps = extra tapas?!
Lots of space for a family of 4, super clean and well equipped. Showers were a little rustic, but didn’t spoil anything and worked fine.
Check in and check out were brilliant - very easy and quick communication, and we were able to leave bags on the last day as we had a late flight.
Would highly recommend!
