Big and spacious apartment in Barcelona, comfortable holiday self catering, Barcelona apartment accommodation, in the gothic Neighborhood close to the Plaza Real and to the Barcelona Ramblas, ideal for a short-term rental for a family or a group of friends. Large, spacious and completely renovated apartment in a building from 1856 and only 3 minutes walking distance from the world famous “Barcelona Ramblas”.
160 m2 (1722 sq. ft.) on a third floor without elevator; “so leave your huge trunks and heavy suitcases at home”.
Three double bedrooms, one with an additional double sofa bed, a double sofa bed in the living room and a second living room/salon with another double sofa bed, and three full bathrooms.
Spacious modern design fully equipped open eat in kitchen with a very comfortable dining area for twelve people.
Heating, air conditioning and ceiling fans, colour satellite TV, radio CD.
Double glazing and special laminated silence glass in windows.
The building forms part of a specially protected architectural heritage residential compound, partially renovated, located in the old center of the city “Barrio Gótico”.
Situated in the heart of the old medieval town of Barcelona; a mix of charming, picturesque, old-world neighborhood still relatively poor with its winding narrow and mainly pedestrian streets, small shops and famous traditional “tapas bars”, “tascas” and “tavernas” and recent influx of young liberal professionals, artists, university students and foreign immigrants with trendy and ethnic bars, restaurants and fashionable avant-garde shopping. Close to the Plaça Sant Jaume, a main square in the heart of the old town and still the administrative center of Barcelona, extremely well located for a tourist.
At only three blocks from the old docks, which are now the site of a great entertainment mall, the “Maremagnum” and the yacht and pleasure boat port. And at walking distance from the most interesting attractions that the city offers: Las Ramblas, Plaça Catalunya, beaches, the Picasso Museum, the Liceo Opera Theatre, the Cathedral, “el Borne” and the central shopping area, etc.
Reloj Passage is a little side street just off George Orwell square and Escudellers street. Orwell and Escudellers are very well known for their day and night time commercial activity, with lots of shops, cafes, bars and restaurants. When constructed in 1856 the Passage contained the central offices, headquarters and the family residence of the owners of the most important Catalan Bank at that time. The one disadvantage is that the entrance and staircase of the building are rather shabby: it dates from 1856 and it looks as if it has not been painted since then. There are two subway lines (green and yellow) and many buses serving this area which can connect you quickly and easily to the rest of Barcelona.
