Location: Barcelona, Catalunya, Spain, Europe (Situated in the heart of Barcelona)
Accommodations: One-Bedroom Apartment, 1 Bedroom, 1 Bath (Sleeps 2-4)
A wonderful apartment in a very central and very safe location! Only 10 minutes on foot to Plaza Catalunya and Las Ramblas and in the middle of the Eixample neighbourhood. This one-bedroom apartment is situated on the top floor of a building dating back to the turn of the 20th century -Modernista style - and has got an elevator.
It has been furnished with both very modern furniture (Italian design) and antiques. It has got parquet-flooring and the walls are covered with art.
The apartment has got a recently refurbished, very modern and comfortable bathroom with shower and a washing machine, a kitchen with all amenities, a large living room on two levels with a good quality sofa-bed, a bedroom with a large, comfortable, double-size bed and a built-in wardrobe, and, last but not least, a lovely private terrace full of Mediterranean plants (think bougainvillea, hibiscus, olive trees,...).
The terrace is a perfect sunny breakfast spot or could be used for a slow dinner complete with evening breeze. THE APARTMENT NOW HAS 24H FREE HIGH SPEED WIFI INTERNET CONNECTION (bring your own laptop).. you can work on the terrace amidst the plants.
The 55-square-meter apartment is very quiet although it has a very central position (ten minutes to Plaza Catalunya and Las Ramblas, ten minutes to Paseo de Gracia and Gaudi's houses, one minute to the covered Ninot food market, ten minutes to the neighbourhood of Gracia..) as it is situated away from the street. It has lots of light coming into it as well, which is a rarity in Barcelona.
Immediately outside the apartment are many little family-owned shops like a bakery, delicatessen, butcher, greengrocer, fishmonger, high-speed internet cafe, nail studio, etc. Nearby is a big food market and there are also many supermarkets in the vicinity.
The neighbourhood has got a wonderful village feeling to it; you will be living where the real Barcelonians live. Close by are also some great restaurants where you will find mostly local people and where prices are still reasonable.
This apartment is used by the owner when in the city and therefore very homely. There are bookshelves full of books, mostly in English, but also in Dutch, Italian, and Spanish. There are Persian carpets and other accessories that you will not find in a standard rental apartment. It has got air conditioning, heating, TV, video, DVD, stereo, and CD player with lots of CDs.
Great value for money. Only available to responsible adults or a responsible family.

Hi AnneMarie, we enjoyed your apartment very much, and thanks to Soraya’s and your kindness and thoughtfulness, were able to check in as soon as we arrived. Thank you so much, it meant a lot to us! I will recommend to anyone going to Barcelona to stay at your apartment. Shelley

Hello Annemarie, We have just left your apartment and arrived in Paris. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay in your place. We took good care of the plants, they were looking happier as we left than when we arrived. The terrace was amazing, we were able to watch the neighborhood celebrations from there as FC Barcelona won the championship against Manchester U. The art in the apartment was beautiful, and the neighborhood was perfect. Soraya was extremely nice and helpful as well. Thanks again for the authentic Barcelona experience! Karen

Hi Annemarie, We just returned from Barcelona around an hour ago and I just needed you to know we had a FABULOUS time!! We loved your apartment...spent every minute at your place out on your terrace (I watered 3 times) and we were so very happy! Soraya met us as scheduled and we had no problems just a wonderful, wonderful time! Rich fixed your kitchen light and the flowers and wine that greeted us made us feel very special!! Thank-you for everything..., beth

Hi Annemarie. Just arrived back in Hong Kong after a fantastic week in Barcelona (despite a very rough approach and landing because of some violent and very windy weather). Enjoyed your appartment. We watered all the plants and left everything neat and tidy. We walked most places, used the Metro, took your advice about places like Crusto's and so on. Many thanks for your help and assistance. Any time you are planning a trip to HK or to Australia, get in touch. Many thanks, Darryl and Tania.

Hi Annemarie, What a lovely visit we have had in Barcelona... you must love living in this vibrant city! We have loved your apartment .. oh the terrace is so lovely! I watered your plants well.. they add such an inviting touch. Thanks again for your generousity. p.s. the artwork is provocative and the opera singer on Sunday night (not sure where she lives.. maybe 2 blocks away) was like a 'live show' .. fantastic! Be well!

Anne Marie, Loved the apartment. You have good taste. Loved the artwork and books. It has a lovely feeling. Barcelona is very beautiful but only managed to see some of it but I am sure I will be back. If you ever in Great Britain, get in touch. Hope you had a good time in Colombia. Love, Alister p.s. Saw the lizard every day but ran out of food so we had to eat him! Querida Ana Maria! Tu apartamento esta lleno de encanto y mas todavia en buena compañia! Gracias por dejarnos ser una parte de toda esta creatividad y arte que se respira en el apartamento. Alister y yo, aparte de visitar Barcelona fuimos a Cadaques y Sant Pol de Mar. Besazos, Olga
