It is within comfortable walking distance of most top popular tourist sites such as the Gaudi modernist architecture of La Pedrera, Casa Batlló, the Sagrada Familia, La Rambla, the Gothic Quarter with the Cathedral, designer shopping streets. 'barceloneta' city beach and old port can be reached in a 20 minutes walk or a 5-minute taxi ride.
The apartments date from the year 1900 and have original 'escofet' tiled floors and period features.
We have worked carefully with designers and specialists to retain the original building features whilst bringing the apartments into the 21st century by including a stylish modern kitchen, bathroom, comfortable living room and dining area and a period balcony looking over great period architecture. There is a free Wifi fibre-optic connection and the apartment (1-b) has climate control air-conditioning.
In our opinion this is one of the best areas for visiting Barcelona because of its central location and historical heritage. The apartment is very peaceful at night and at weekends. There are great cafes, bars and restaurants close by which we can recommend and we have personally tried. The closest metro stations (Urquinaona (l-1 red line and Tetuan L-2 purple line and Girona L-4 yellow line) are only 2-3 minutes walk from the flat.
The building does not have its own private parking because it is a protected building, but a small privately-run car park is close to the apartment (less than one minute walk). Otherwise, paid street parking is also available in the area.
Bathroom towels and linen are provided as well as basic toiletries, cleaning products and a welcome pack.
There are no hidden costs. Cleaning and taxes are included in the basic price.
A taxi should only take you around 15 minutes from Barcelona Sants railway station, 30 minutes from Barcelona El Prat Airport and 20 minutes from the cruise port. We can help reserve taxis on departures. Other public transport options are also available.

What a great find! You won't regret booking this lovely apartment in Barcelona.
Owner Isabel is easy and pleasant to work with in this very well-situated apartment, walkable to so many of the city's major sites, including Las Ramblas, the Block of Discord, La Sagrada Familia, and the Gothic Quarter. Yet it's just enough removed from the beaten path to provide a safe and private refuge from your day.
The apartment is clean, spacious, modern, and nicely decorated. It's nicely equipped and comes with dishwasher, washer/dryer and elevator. You can find an excellent grocery story just around the corner in this beautiful neighborhood.
I would return here in a heartbeat.

Great location, nice neighborhood
We thouroughly enjoyed our stay at this charming Apartment in for our family holiday.
It had all the ammenties we needed for a family traveling with 2 teenage daughters. The elevator, although small, was super helpful with our luggage.
Isabel was so helpful giving us suggestions in the area, provided a book with directions and emergency numbers. She was so sweet to stock the fridge with a few essentials such as wine, water, juice and milk. It was helpful to have grocery market was around the corner, and coffee shops and restaurants in neighborhood.
We walked to most of Barcelona from this apartment and felt very safe.
The view from the balconies was charming, and the floors were so unique!

Wonderful apartment in a central location
What a perfect place for our week in Barcelona. Beautifully decorated, comfortable and convenient. We loved opening the large windows in the evening after a day of sightseeing and enjoying the cool breeze and street sounds. We appreciated the clothes washer and dryer. Isabel was so helpful with suggestions before and during our stay. Highly recommended!

Absolutely perfect gem in the heart of Barcelona
The apartment is beautiful and perfectly located for walking to many of the local attractions including La Sagrada Familia, Las Ramblas and lots of local eateries. The apartment is clean, modern and on a quiet street which is important as one of the bedrooms has a balcony that looks out onto the street. It has a small elevator which is convenient for getting luggage upstairs and for those with mobility concerns. Our host Isabelle was gracious enough to meet us early and provided a booklet filled with information on local attractions, food and feedback from previous guest. She also stocked the refrigerator with a few basics such as water, juice and wine. The next time I stay in Barcelona, I'll definitely seek to stay here again. I highly recommend this apartment for anyone looking to stay in Barcelona. Many Mahalos to Isabelle for being such a wonderful host and opening her home to me and my friends.

Chic apartment in great location
We had a super time here. The flat is accurately shown in the photos on TripAdvisor and is of a very good standard. Isabel is a kind and welcoming host. Easy walking distance to almost everywhere- didn’t need the Metro cards we bought! Recommended

Perfect Barcelona Apartment
Wonderful apartment with air and an elevator, built in the 19th century with all the ambiance of Barcelona. Beautifully tiled floors that are original, new kitchen & bathroom. Close enough to the action of Las Ramblas, but on a quiet street with a really nice restaurant, so you get the best of both worlds.

Wonderful!
This apartment was a great place to stay while visiting Barcelona. It was walking distance to many of the tourist spots and the few times we used a cab, they were always easy to find.
The apartment was very clean and the owner was very nice. She met us on arrival at the apartment and she had a few things in the refrigerator to get us started.
We were two single women traveling together and it was great to each have our own bedroom. It was so much nicer to come back to an apartment at the end of the day rather than a hotel room. Neither of us regretted booking this accommodation.

You would be staying right in the heart of Barcelona in a building occupied by Catalan residents. The apartment is in a very safe area in the heart of the Eixample district, the Quadrat d'Or (The Golden Square) of central Barcelona just a few blocks from areas such as Passeig de Gràcia, Rambla de Catalunya and Plaza Catalunya. The entire area surrounding the apartment building is full of beautiful modernist buildings influenced by the modernist architects, chief among whom was Antoni Gaudi. The apartment is peaceful at night and at weekends.
