What We Liked
- The large open plan kitchen and living area is a cozy room where you can spend many lazy afternoons watching TV or reading a book in the comfy sofa. If you enjoy cooking, you will fall in love with the comfortable and very well equipped kitchen.
- The apartment is oozing with character, located in an antique building which has been tastefully restored. We particularly love the high ceilings, large windows and polished wooden floors.
- There is a really nice balcony in the living area overlooking the street.
Things to keep in mind
- The landlord has several apartments in this building, and this is one of two identical two bedroom apartments available for rent.
- The bathroom is accessed through bedroom 1.
- Room 2 does not have a door and is an open space.
Transportation
The closest metro stations are Liceu (L3), located 500m from the apartment and Jaume I (L4), located 450m away.
Neighbourhood
Barri Gòtic
Your medieval, romantic and central home
Overview
Dreamy, atmospheric, marked by history. The fast-beating heart of Barcelona city centre.
Welcome to Barri Gòtic.
It's one of Barcelona's oldest neighbourhoods. So there's plenty for you to explore. The architecture is gloomy neo-gothic. Narrow streets twist and turn. Each a path leading you back to the past.
What will you find?
What can I do here?
Take yourself for a wander down Las Ramblas.
It's a 1.2-kilometre road. You can explore palaces, admire street performers and avoid flower sellers. There's an El Corte Inglés department store, too.
You can find La Boqueria here too. It's a fresh-food market with 300 stalls. You can buy anything from garlic to guacamole, honey to jamón (ham). There's a food school. Local chefs and sommeliers share their wisdom.
Thirsty?
Stroll down to Plaça Reial. Sit under the the palm trees. Sip a beer. Lean back into the Mediterranean vibe. Elegant colonial buildings surround you. Shadowy arches. High windows. Fading wooden shutters.
Contemplate the gothic architecture of Barcelona cathedral. It's 800 years old and covered in gargoyles.
Travel back in time as you wander the narrow streets. The buildings lean overhead, almost touching.
Shopaholic? You'll love the boutiques on Carrer d'Avinyó.
At Number 7 you'll find La Manual Alpargatera. It sells espadrille-inspired shoes. It's whispered they cut their colours from a real rainbow. Grey-purple-green? No problem.
Fun fact
The famous bar Els Quatre Gats, housed in Casa Martí, was a favourite of Pablo Picasso. Genius.
