Oasis with a sunny terrace in the heart of Gracia

My friend and I are single older women who love to travel. This apartment gave us each a private bedroom, and then we enjoying the shared living space much better than going away to separate hotel rooms. We shopped local markets and cooked breakfast each morning before heading out to the city. One night thunderstorms chased us inside and we had a picnic of cheeses and meats. Having a refrigerator and kitchen was so wonderful.As single women we felt safe in this neighborhood of locals. There were families in the square, children playing soccer, so many little hole in the wall eateries and bakeries. The austere exterior is typical of a historic EU city, then the apartment is a jewel of a modern renovation project. The Beds were so comfortable! In fact the 1st day I slept until almost 11! (Jet lag from a long travle day from the US.) We saw so much of Barcelona in our 6 days. Our 2 surprises to recommend would be the GAB LAB Cooking school for a Paella or dessert cooking class, and the Art Museum at Montserrat Monastery.

Great apartment. Convenient easy checkin. Enjoyed the Gràcia neighborhood. Tiramisu and Anita’s gelato on nearby square were delicious. Great location to explore Barcelona. Short walk to 3 metro stops.

Wonderful, clean clean Neighborhood

This apartment is in a great location: steps from restaurants, excellent cocktail bars and a great community plaza. It’s also a relatively easy walk into the center of Barcelona. The apartment itself is a little tired and showing signs of wear: it’s not as pristine as I would have liked and cleanliness could have been better. The floors and tiles are worn and the windows let in street noise. There’s also not much unpacking and storage space (no drawers or closets). But the location makes up for it and communications and check-in were faultless. Go to Le Pepita restaurant, 14 de la Rosa cocktail bar, Bloody Mary cocktail bar and Messie pizza, all within a few minutes walk of the apartment.
