For value, comfort and access to the sights this is the place.Truly is an amazing location. Easy access to everything.
Fantastic apartment with a terrace overlooking Parc Ciutadella (Central Park of Barcelona).
Set in DOWTOWN on the tree-lined avenue - PASSEIG PUJADES- at only a short walk to the medieval area 'EL BORN' and to the sea.With the Park on your doorstep you will not have to go far to delight in the wonders of Barcelona.Subway station : ARC DE TRIOMF
Secure building - 2 lifts - concierge - SAFE - quiet and residential neigborhood.
Immaculately clean neat as a pin with everything you'll need. Supermarkets, bank, restaurants, terrace-cafes, pharmacy, a doctor, and a dentist are round the corner.
The terrace is clearly the starring feature and can seem like a break from the busy city enjoying the breeze and the sunny days.The pleasure of sitting out “people watching” and sipping wine will undoubtedly be one of your lovely memories here.
It is an ideal location to explore the city within walking distance to nearly all the sights but you can escape the crowds of the Old City with just a short walk.
And for those that were not, the bus and subway is right there.
Along the way to the TRADITIONAL FOOD MARKET “Santa Caterina” -an excellent place to go for gourmet shopping- you can stop in one of the terrace-cafes and in few minutes you get into the medieval district called: EL BORN, and the historic Gothic area.

Guest: Don L. (Palo Alto - CA - US)
We will heartily recommend Dolores and her apartment to all our friends!
Located overlooking the Ciutadella Park and only three blocks from Barcelona's old city it was the ideal location.
The crowds and the noise of the city faded when we were in the apartment yet we were able to enjoy our breakfast and cocktails on the balcony; gazing at the activities below...joggers, bikers, strollers, people enjoying their café; it was a fascinating scene!
The apartment itself was well appointed with the luxury of a second bedroom which gave our daughter (a student in the area) the option of spending the night with us.
We can't overemphasize Dolores' vast knowledge of Barcelona as well as Spain. Not only did she guide us to the fabulous sites of the city but she also assisted us in planning a trip to Costa Brava (after helping us evaluate that vs. a trip to Madrid or Granada).
Unfortunately, while visiting Barcelona we experienced an emergency medical problem...however; Dolores assisted us in finding immediate medical treatment. Her translating talents helped immensely!

The apartment was exactly as shown in the photos, well laid out and very clean.
At first I thought having single beds would be too small but they are almost like a double bed and as long as a king size bed and very comfortable.
We enjoyed the coffee and cakes that Dolores left us upon our arrival out on the lovely balcony overlooking the park across the street. There is a fully stocked grocery store around the corner which helped as.
Dolores was very helpful and not only had a ton of brochures but also a map on the wall with all the sites shown and how to get to them, she also suggested a few places to dine which we went to and found them all excellent, no disappointments at all.
The bus stop was 2 doors up from the apartment entrance but we found we could easily walk to most places we wanted to see.
The apartment and location was perfect and I'd highly recommend staying there while in Barcelona.

We 'd never have seen Barcelona to its best advantage on our own.Your personal touch with the tours was perfect.
Having just been on many bus tours on the cruise,we can attest to the personal contact being a much preferres way.
Judy and family - Danville, CA - US
Thank you so much for the use of your wonderful apartment and specially for making it so much like a home away from home.
The coffee, milk, and muffins were also so very much appreciated the morning we woke up!We sat on the balcony and played cards every evening before dinner.
We enjoyed watching the green birds that looked a little like parrots and we think we heard the elephant from the zoo once. While walking down Wellington Street one evening,we saw the lion up behind the fence and it roared at us! It was such a sight!
The location was just perfect.

I wanted you to know how much we enjoyed your apartment and our time in Barcelona. We packed in everything we could. It was too short. What a wonderful city. We did go to your favorite tapas bar and had a memorable evening. The food was amazing and our waiter so charming. We have been eating tapas but nothing as wonderful as our night at your recommended restaurant. Thank you for your generous hospitality. If I live long enough I will come back to Barcelona.

We visited Barcelona between Palm Sunday and Easter. It was earlier than the usual tourist season and a delightful time to visit. Even when rain was predicted, it was limited to sprinkles for short periods during the day. The apartment was perfect for our three family members, with the two bedrooms allowing a break from one another after long days of walking the city. The amenities in the apartment made for a pleasant retreat at the end of each day and an easy breakfast at the start. The apartment owner, Dolores, was the greatest asset; she ensured a wonderful experience because she provided so much practical information about using public transportation, when to get tickets in advance and how to avoid long waits in line. She showed us the neighborhoods and the hidden gems that we might have missed were it not for her knowledge and love of her city. Everything in the apartment functioned nicely and we did not experience any significant problems with noise.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, age 55+, tourists without a car, adventure seekers, girls getaway.

We are a family that has traveled extensively in Europe and have rented a lot of apartments. We have to say we are most satisfied with Dolores's apartment. She was a kind hostess that made us feel welcome even before we got there. We had all the comforts of home in foreign city. We felt safe in the apartment and if I had any questions or comments, I could contact Dolores easily. The price, location, and accommodations were just right for our family.Recommended for: Families with young children, tourists without a car.

My husband, 8-year-old son and I just returned from 7 nights in Dolores' apartment. It was fabulous. It's clean, well-equipped, with a wonderful balcony overlooking a beautiful park. The bus stops right outside and the tram and metro are just mere blocks away to take you to all over the city. It was so nice to come home from a day of crowded sightseeing to this oasis. The neighborhood is safe and lovely, situatued between 2 cafes and filled with locals, not tourists. Some nights we ate dinner on the terrace with delicious local specialties purchased at the supermarket right around the corner, and we went to the park every night to enjoy the peace and quiet--it's also a great place to run every morning. It was also nice to know that Dolores was right around the corner if we had any questons or concerns. And she leaves so much information about Barcelona in the apartment, you never feel lost. I hope to have the chance to recommend this apartment to anyone I know visiting Barcelona. It was a treat to stay here.Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, sightseeing, age 55+, tourists without a car.

This is the second time we have stayed in Dolores' apartment and again it did not disapoint. The apartment is clean and well-equiped and situated in a residential area, away from the tourist area, opposite a park. It is not far from the city sights e.g. Cathedral, La Sagrada Familiar, Placa Catalunia, La Rambla and the beaches can be walked to in 20 minutes or so. The nearest Metro is a 10 minute walk away and Estacio Franca about 15 minutes - which will take you by train to and from the airport by changing trains once. Dolores is a friendly hostess who will show you her favourite Barcelona bars and restaurants. We hope to return soon!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, sightseeing, tourists without a car, girls getaway.

The Unique Benefits at this Apartment:
I LET MY GUESTS speak:
Jerry - Comox - Canada
'Your ad on VRBO was “right on”. The flat is cosy, in a central location. You can walk to most things, or hop on a bus for adventures.
After a busy day in the community, sipping vino tinto on the terrace is not at all shabby.
Your excellent suggestions for dining and sightseeing were much appreciated and well worth trying.
While every trip must have its “bumps” you proved yourself to be very responsive and helpful during a dental emergency. You can’t get that kind of assistance in any hotel.
