Photos and Description of this Barcelona holiday apartment Four double bedrooms, three bathrooms, sleeps eight

Built at the turn of the century in the 'Modernista' (art nouveau) style this spacious four bedroom apartment in the L'Eixample area is just a 15 minute walk from the heart of the Plaza Catalunya and Ramblas district. The accommodation has undergone sympathetic restoration, retaining its traditional character whilst offering modern facilities. Two of the double bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms and there is an additional bathroom with full-sized bath with shower over, while the kitchen has been restored to the highest standard. The high ceilings retain their traditional mouldings, most prominently in the dining area with its ornate plasterwork and antique chandelier. The restored decorative encaustic tiles of the floors are set off by the plain colours of the walls, while the tall, elegant doors and louvered shutters complete the turn of the century ambience. One of the nicest features of the apartment are the three balconies which look out onto the street below.

Further details for this holiday apartment rental in Barcelona, Spain

The apartment was built at the turn of the century, a part of Barcelona's expansion of the medieval city into the 'Eixample' (catalan for 'extention'). The apartment block is a classic example of the 'modernist' style with the curving sweeps of its exterior masonry, and the ironwork of the balconies and grilles, down to the etched glazed door, tile work and decorative plasterwork of the vestibule. This part of the 'Eixample' borders the old town, which has several advantages over actually staying in the old town, while still being within a 15 minute walk of the centre. The streets are more spacious, there is none of the petty crime, and the area has a life of its own.

The apartment is very well served by local shops all within a couple of minutes walk. Specialist shops, from delicatessens and herbalists to supermarkets, designer furniture shops and numerous restaurants and bars which cater mainly to Catalan locals, rather than purely to tourists. Another considerable advantage the apartment has over much of the hotel accommodation on offer is its tranquillity, since noise is a major problem, especially on the main thorough-fares of Barcelona.

Further along Tamarit, at the junction with the Avenida Mistral, there is a large Sainsbury type supermarket called 'Bon Preu', while across the road you'll find other supermarket's which open on Sundays. Bakeries, patisseries, butchers, greengroceries and pharmacies are all to be found within minutes of the apartment. Best of all however is the Mercat Sant Antoni, one of the best markets in Barcelona, which is just a few blocks away.

Nice apartment in L'Eixample

Jense Copenhagen
Review Submitted: November 14, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
The apartment is situated in the grid-lock residential blocks of L'Eixample with small convenient stores, bars, metro and tapas bars very close by.
The property itself is easy to get to except for the many stairs needed to be climbed (no elevator).
The property owners are very friendly and helpful, and they use the apartment themselves to go on holiday, which ensures the good condition of the place. The place is nice and clean and has modern kitchen and bathroom facilities.
We were 7 young persons aged 20-22, and we found the apartment a nice base for both sightseeing, eating and drinking (if you don't have a problem using the metro, as you will need that to see most parts of the city, as well as getting a little variation in eating.
The apartment itself is also spacious enough to stay in should you feel like that one evening (or day if it should rain).
All in all the apartment suited us as young people very well! The stairs and distance to city center might cause problems for people with small children or disabilities or elderly.

Jens
Owner's Response: The stairs are a problem and one that we underline in our property information details attachment which we send everyone.
As far as the location of the apartment it isn't suited to young groups who want to be on the Ramblas, the area is residential which is why it is better suited to those such as families who want a more restful place to return to.
That said the apartment is only a 15 minute walk from the very centre of Barcelona.

Comfortable and central

Niyi London
Review Submitted: August 20, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
The location of this property is very ideal and close to the metro. the property comfortably sleeps 8 as stated. All amenities supplied and this made the F1 weekend break for 7 very enjoyable.
The only downside to the property is the flight of stairs. Not ideal for the old or unfit.
