Gracia

Gracia: Catalonia

Located on Barcelona's busiest shopping street brimming with stunning Modernist architecture, Gracia is central, stylish, and wonderfully homey.
It's truly remarkable to be able to see two of Gaudi's masterpieces, Casa Battló and La Pedrera, from the balconies. And we absolutely fell in love with the classic interior design, the elegant arched doorways, the original cornices, and the lovely large kitchen. The wifi is exceptionally speedy, a cleaner comes to freshen up the place daily, and a concierge is on hand during the day in case you need help with anything.

Home truths:
*Compared to the other rooms in the home, the bathrooms are all fairly dated

*Some of the switches have traditional old bells used to call service – some guests will find the noise tedious after a while

*As it has lower ceilings and only a small window facing an interior patio, the kitchen suffers from a lack of natural light

*The small green twin bedroom is a bit sad design-wise in comparison to the other brighter rooms
