The building:
Is an old building 7 stories high from the beginning of the 20th century that has been completely renewed and refurbished with two apartments per floor. A new small elevator (interior measures 54x85 cm) has been installed twelve steps up from the entrance/street level.
Location:
In 1850 the Vila de Gracia was an independent town with more than 13.000 inhabitants and constantly growing thanks to its progressive industrialization with many artisans and small manufacturers. However, when the Eixample was developed in the late 19th century, Gracia ceased to be a town and become a neighbourhood in the larger metropolis. The elegant Avenue of the Passeig de Gracia in the project of Ildefons Cerdá for the Exaimple was created to join the old Vila de Gracia to the city of Barcelona.
Gracia is immediately recognizable for its narrow streets, impressive contrast to the wide, modern boulevards of L’Eixample, and it feels like a whole different world. Gracia still retains the village atmosphere of bygone years but, at the same time, is one of the most popular neighbourhoods with young people. Traditional shops stand side by side with unique colourful bars and restaurants from different places of the world, design and ethnical shops and alternative clothing shops, art galleries and book stores in pedestrian and semi pedestrian streets. And very specially the different and very lively squares; the Plaça de la Vila de Gràcia or Clock square (Plaça del Rellotge), the emblematic Diamant square (Plaça del Diamant) where takes place the well-known novel of Mercè Rodoreda, the Virreina square or the concurred Sun square (Plaça de Sol) full of beautiful terrace cafes.
There is also a mixture of the old traditional houses with modern rational buildings and some very interesting examples of Modernist architecture from well konwn architects Domenech i Montaner or Antoni Gaudi.
The best connection to the Plaça Catalunya, Gothic Neighbourhood and the Ramblas is with the Metro Green line from the Fontana station (6 minutes walk) or the Diagonal station (8 minutes walk). Also through the Green Line there are connections with other Metro lines for other interesting places to visit like the Sagrada Familia, or direct connection to the Montjuic Area or to start a visit to the Park Guell.

Testimonials
Dear Hop, I just wanted to let you know that after the first six nights at the Vila Gracia apartment, we had very quiet nights. Perhaps I was too hasty with my complaints, but I do know what we heard and from where it was coming.
Nevertheless, we all loved Barcelona, walked miles every day and enjoyed all those wonderful things that Barcelona has to offer the tourist.The location was great and the apartment very comfortable.
I do appreciate your prompt attention to my concerns. Regards, Bernice
