The Old Town 4 is extremely central, and a perfect apartment to combine with another of the Old Town apartments 1, 2, 3, 5 for big groups - a much better alternative to hotel rooms! Perfect for up to 9 guests and just a short stroll (6/7 minutes) from "Las Ramblas" and all the best tourist attractions.
This new apartment is on the first floor of a listed building (a famous Catalan Artist painted the façade) with lift/elevator. The entrance hall is very ample and there is a lift, despite being in the old town - few buildings here have lifts. The apartment itself enjoys a lot of natural sunlight throughout the day, due to the fact that there are no neighbours behind, and there are windows and a BIG BALCONY. The apartment also has AIR-CONDITIONING.
The apartment has 75 m2 and is fully furnished with everything we think you will need for a comfortable stay here in our city. Through experience working with our other apartments, Old Town 1, 2 and 3 we are sure you will find everything you need. The apartment has a brand new kitchen with fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, oven, 4 gas rings, a microwave, and all brand new cooking utensils and crockery. There is a breakfast bar, with high stylish stools to sit and enjoy breakfast. There are two double bedrooms each with a wardrobe, bedside tables and large widows, an iron and ironing board.
The large living room has two double sofa beds and 1 single sofa bed with plenty of room to sleep 4 people comfortably. Fresh sheets and towels are, of course, provided. There is a large living room unit with cupboards and drawers, a colour television set & DVD, and patio doors leading to a very big balcony which receives the sun all day and has a table and chairs to relax or eat meals on!! The bathroom has a toilet, sink with a large vanity mirror, and a HYDROMASSAGE BATHTUB for the ultimate relaxing experience after a hard day shopping or sightseeing!!
There are four metro lines serving the apartment, (LICEU, DRASSANES, PARAL.LEL [L3] and SAN ANTONIO [L2]) all of which are a short 5 minute stroll from the apartment and metro maps with other tourist information will be waiting for you in the apartment. As an Englishman living here, I have prepared a "Welcome Pack" with useful local information, recommended restaurants, bars, pubs and clubs, and tons of other information you won't find in any guidebooks!! Discount Parking in the same street can be offered, and any local tourist information, reservation calls (restaurants, theatre, discothèques etc.) can be made by us (English and Spanish spoken).
Barcelona’s PORT AND MARINA are only 10 minutes walk from the apartment. So whether you want to imagine which of the yachts you’d buy when you win the lottery, walk THROUGH Europe’s largest fish tank in the AQUARIUM for a true “Jaws”-style experience, take in a 3-D cinematic experience in the IMAX, or check out the exclusive shops, bars and restaurants in MAREMAGNUM, you know you only have a sunshine stroll back to the apartment to relax before you do it all again the next day!!
Along the way to the Port, you’ll pass the MARITIME MUSEUM, the landmark of “Las Ramblas” - the COLUMBUS MONUMENT - and if you decide to venture further, there are various stops of the TOURIST BUS along the way- a great way to see all the sights in the city in a short stay.
In the other direction, moving back up “Las Ramblas” allow yourself to be surprised and captivated by the GOTHIC quarter, so called because it is said that in the middle ages the devil had a habit of strolling through the old streets of the city. Even today, you are able to revive the magic of the old town, with the PLACA REAL (royal square), PLACA PALAU (palace square) and CATHEDRAL, at a stones throw from each other. All of these routes can be enjoyed without haste from the Old Town 4 apartment. |
