Accommodations:  Apartment, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths (Sleeps 4-6)

An Unforgettable opportunity to experience Barcelona, staying in a charming 17th century building once a palace. This Unique two bedroom two bath apartment has lots of history in it. It was renovated in 2009 by an extremely sensitive architect that mixed the old art of the building with comfortable areas (that are going to make your vacation very special). It has 4 m high ceilings with wood beams, stonewalls, hydraulic mosaic tiles.

The apartment is located in a narrow cozy and safe street, in el Barri del born (quarter) half block from the famous Palau de la Música Catalana, Mercat de Santa Caterina, the Cathedral and the Museo Picasso and just 5 minutes on foot to Plaza Catalunya, Las Ramblas and Santa Maria del Mar church. You just need to cross Via Laietana to be in the gothic quarter where you can have some yummy Spanish tapas and walk a few blocks up to visit the charming Modernist buildings of Gaudí. After a busy day working or visiting you can relax on its nice and well-equipped 20 sq m. outdoor terrace. It’s ideal for vacations or business.

The master bedroom is equipped with its own double rain shower and basin. The shower has lots of history - its walls are covered with a 100-year-old double wood door and it has a unique Murano glass lamp. The other bedroom keeps the original hydraulic floor, which is a true piece of art. There is an additional bathroom with its impressive shower located where once was the stone entrance of the palace.

You also have your fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher and first class electrical appliances. The living room can accommodate two extra people on its sofa bed. There is also a separate dining room with a Le Corbusier table that fits six people.

* Complementary bottle of Spanish wine and fruit

  • What a gorgeous apartment! Three of us spent three days in Barcelona and this apartment was perfect. It's well located with easy access to transportation, cabs, etc. - but also right in the Gothic Quarter. Step outside your door and you're in the middle of everything. Inside, the apartment is an oasis of calm. The architecture is beautiful and the entire place has been updated with all the modern conveniences. And the shower cube - it's something to be experienced! When (not if) we make it back to Barcelona, we'll be staying here again. Thanks Victor & Co!

  • We really enjoyed this property. The place is very well suited for families with little kids, we stayed here with two kids - 3 and 4 years old. It is well equipped, nicely decorated and have lots of extra stuff that family would need. We found that it was really easy to deal with the owners. Overall the place is very convenient for world travelers. We traveled light with minimal luggage and found that the place has everything we needed to recharge, clean up and calmly enjoy our stay. We recommend this place to others.

  • It's difficult to put into words -- especially ones that haven't been used in previous comments -- how very special this apartment is. Beyond the fabulous location, the exquisite decorating style, the quality fixtures and bedding and the funky patio, there is just a very positive vibe to this lovely place. We truly felt at home and extraordinarily comfortable in the flat, and couldn't have endured the lovely Barcelona heat without refreshing late afternoon sojourns in the fabulously designed bedroom shower. No comment on the flat would be complete without special mention of Victor's wonderful father. We've used VRBO many times in the past few years, but we have yet to meet a more charming, knowledgeable and caring host. His orientation session upon our arrival was the basis of most of our sightseeing and restaurant choices, and we couldn't have been more pleased with his suggestions. We will most definately rebook this gorgeous place upon our return to Barcelona!

  • I can highly recommend this property. Our group of 4 was enamoured with this apartment-it was not only beautiful but also had all the amenities one could hope for in a vacation rental (and then some). The location is superb, the decor is impeccable, the price more than reasonable, and the landlord could not be kinder or more helpful. Our friends rented an apartment nearby for about the same price and they were floored when they saw ours-they could not believe the difference. Let me warn you, however, that you're sure to run into one small problem-you'll find it difficult to leave this place and go back home! If I'm ever fortunate enough to return to Barcelona I will plan my vacation around the availability of this apartment-I refuse to stay elsewhere! Thanks for everything Victor and please send our regards to your lovely father.

  • This is just an extraordinary property. It is a perfect combination of the historic and the modern, like Barcelona itself. So much attention has been paid to each detail of the remodel. The appliances are the best I have ever seen in any of the many rentals in which I have stayed,from the induction stove to the wine cooler. The beds were so good, you almost do not want to get up, and the remote control a/c worked very well. The location is great,allowing easy access to the entire city.Best of all, are Victor and his wonderful parents who greeted us, gave us a history of the city and the apartment and walked us around the neighborhood. We loved Barcelona, and loved this apartment.

  • This is a fantastic apartment in the best possible location. It’s very close to everything but not crowded with tourists like some areas. Furnished with high end modern appliances, stylish furniture, comfortable bedding and ice cold a/c, Victor’s place really exceeded our expectations . We will definitely stay here again when we go back to Barcelona. Highly recommended!!

  • What a gorgeous and unique apartment! The location near the edge of the gothic quarter is fantastic. The neighborhood is charming and major sites, such as the Cathedral and the Picasso museum, are just a few minutes walk from the flat. The interior renovations demonstrate the owners' artistic sensibility and appreciation of the building's original architectural features. The furnishings are comfortable and inviting. I particularly appreciated the high-quality mattresses and bedding. The owners were very generous with their advice and made us feel at home in their apartment. Little touches added to the experience, such as a complimentary bowl of oranges and an electric juicer that we used to make fresh-squeezed orange juice each morning. It was a pleasure to return to the flat at the end of each day and I feel very fortunate to have discovered such a wonderful place to stay in Barcelona.
