Location: Barcelona, Catalunya, Spain, Europe (Historic Eixample)
Accommodations: Apartments, 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths (Sleeps 6)
Description of the apartment -
· Beautiful 3 bedroom apartment on the 2nd floor of an 100-year-old modernist building, renovated outside and inside. The apartment has a private terrace, and has very high ceilings in the living, dining, and main bedroom. The ceilings still have the original ornate decorations, and the floor in the main bedroom is the original colorful mosaic. There is an elevator, air conditioning, central heating, and a large, fully-equipped kitchen with granite countertops, pots & pans, dishes, etc. One full bathroom with shower, toilet, sink. The apartment sleeps up to 6 comfortably.
The apartment building also has a roof terrace, with tables and chairs, plenty of sunshine, and views to the spires of the Sagrada Familia.
Description of location -
· The apartment is located in the beautiful Eixample, halfway between Gaudi's La Pedrera (also known as Casa Milà) on the Passeig de Gracia, and Gaudi's La Sagrada Familia, just a ten-minute walk from either one. Casa Amatller and Casa Batlló are at the same short distance as well. The Eixample district has the most beautiful Art Nouveau architecture in the city dating from the last half of the XIX century.
Almost all buildings in the area are at least 100 years old. The 115-year-old Market of La Concepció, where you can do your grocery shopping in a traditional setting, is just 200 meters from the apartment. This market has fresh meat, produce, and cheeses, similar to the more famous Boqueria market, but less crowded and does not have some of the more exotic things. There are many cafes, restaurants, tapas bars, and shops in the neighborhood also.
The Eixample is recommended as a convenient location to see the different sight around the city, but not as crowded as the Old City. You can get a taste of real local life.
Transportation -
· There is a bus stop (for 8 different bus lines) on the corner right by the apartment that will take you to almost all the places of interest in the city, if you don't feel like walking. The city buses are nice and modern, and run often. The apartment is also less than 5 minutes walking from the metro station of Verdaguer, on both the yellow and blue lines. One stop away is the upscale shopping street, Passeig de Gracia, though you can easily walk there from the apartment. Three stops away is Plaza Catalunya (the very center of the city and also walkable) and the start of Las Ramblas, and the beaches are just five stops away. Four stops away you have the Old Cathedral and the Picasso Museum. There is also a parking garage close to the apartment, although renting a car in Barcelona is not recommended.
