Located in the Heart of Barcelona, with the Ramblas at your doorstep. The area is called Ciutat Vella or Barri Gotic.
The Gothic District passes between the two most important avenues of the old city, Via Layetana and Las Ramblas, and between the Catalonia square. And the sea, just ten minutes walking distance from the apartment, very pleasant promenade through the harbour.
This District constitutes the heart of the old city of Barcelona where the walled Roman city was located (the origin of present Barcelona). The apartment is located less than 10 min. walking of almost all the tourist attractions of Barcelona. Shopping, restaurants, bar and all kinds of amusement are available.
Also, the fantastic modernist style Cafe de la Opera is close to the apartment. You can enjoy breakfast or some tapas. Good quality price value for money (I was born in Barcelona and lived here for more than 30 years, I know what I am talking about ;)
The apartment surface is 120 square meters (393 square feet).
2 main bedrooms are each at one side of the apartment, which allows better intimacy. Living room and the main bedroom have big balcony overlooking the Ramblas, where you will be able to sit and drink a cup of coffee watching the amazing activities, music and energy of the street-arteria of Barcelona. The apartment is located opposite the Liceu Opera House.
The Ramblas is a street full of energy, colored flower stands and all kinds of amusement.
Five minutes walking distance through the flower stands there is the Boqueria market (listed the best market in the world recently!) where you can do grocery shopping (avoid the middle pricey stands ;) and you can buy nice fresh bread to go with your freshly brewed coffe.
Opposite the apartment there is a metro station (Metro Liceu) and several buses (14 and 59) that will take you to the Olimpic Village or the beach area or Barceloneta fishermans neighbourhood in less than 15 minutes to try some paella. Public transport is available to take you conveniently to all areas of Barcelona.
The apartment is antique, beautifully decorated. It is a family run apartment and we will all be pleased to help you and assist you in anything we can to help you enjoy your holidays in Barcelona.
WE WISH YOU HAVE A PLEASANT STAY IN OUR CITY

The apartment was better than described! Yes,It's noisy on la rambla, but the dual window doors muffle the sound well. It was a convenient location and totally cool to go out on the balcony and watch some of the activities happening on la rambla. The Boqeria was AMAZING! I went there every day to look around, grab some fresh fruit, cheese, eat.. whatever! What a plus that was! Antonia met us there and there was a wonderful basket of fruit and beverages waiting for us! Such a nice touch! No kitchen oven but the hotplate was enough to allow me to cook some breakfast meals as well as one dinner meal. Loved it... Would definitely recommend to newcomers especially to Barcelona! I fell in love with that city!

Dear Elisenda, So sorry it took me a while to offer feedback from our stay in your apartment. First and foremost, I know I may have asked a thousand questions, but I only ask questions to learn and to find out the best way to navigate the city. Otherwise, I am a perfect house guest! I have to let you know that we all agreed that it was the best vacation that we ever had. For me, I am happy that I was able to give that gift to my 75 year old mother. Although my ears feel like they are going to fall off from her telling the world about our vacation!!!!!! Osvaldo was simply fabulous and we want him to be an adoptive member of our family. He is a good man and an added bonus to your business. I think he deserves a raise. It is not easy to find people to work with/for you who can reflect how you would run the daily operations yourself. We want him to come visit us in the States. Of course I did all of the work (33 pages of email notes with you to be exact) and all of the research and I ended up in the bedroom without a balcony. I get no respect! :) Anyway, I thought the location was simply perfect for us and to get back and forth on the metro. I didn't even mind the street noise, which really is only evident on the weekend. We definitely look forward to coming back so please don't sell! The next time, the only email that I will send will be to ask what dates you have available. I am sure that will make you smile. Take Care and I look forward to talking to you soon, Lisa PS-The steps could be a problem for someone with disabilities or health issues.

Barcelona's Perfect Location

My husband and I, with our daughter and son-in-law, spent a few days at this wonderfully-located apartment. It's on what we would call the third floor with easily-manageable stairs. The rooms are spacious, the beds comfortable, the kitchen has every piece of equipment needed, and there was even an extra eating room off the kitchen. It was so less expensive than if the four of us had rented two rooms at a comparable hotel, and no one would have had a better location than this apartment. A metro stop is "right there," and we used it constantly to tour the rest of the city as well to the train station to attend the Barcelona Formula 1 race we had come to attend. It was so special to have the balcony from which to enjoy La Ramblas and the never-ending entertainment of the people passing by, as well as the outdoor restaurants below us. A beautiful, quiet area is also off the back bedroom. Only two of the rooms are air conditioned, but we found all the rooms to have a comfortable temperature. The only downside for us was that the bathrooms were less than wonderful, very small, and with only one little shower a bit difficult to coordinate with four adults. A bathrub would have been excellent! BUT the place as a whole was very comfortable, and I can't emphacize enough the location. Everything you want is within easy walking distance - including the harbor - or easy "metro-ing" or even bussing or taxi. We used them all. The other big plus of the location is the people in charge. They were helpful to us before we arrived and ontime to meet us with the keys. Thoughtful foods were provided as a welcome, including the all-important coffee in case you hadn't had a chance to make it to the store yet. They also told us where to find things, but we fell in love with the nearby Boqueria market (I spelled it wrong!) for food to cook, morning breakfast cooked on the spot with local menus and ingredients - and daily bread! If you've got a trip to Barcelona in your future, give this place serious consideration. A good bargain and value for the money. Thank you, Elisenda and Osvaldo, for our excellent stay.

Good family location

Perfect for us. We were a family with a baby, a young child and my parents. The owner was very helpful and put a number of very handy baby items in the apartment such as a bath, high chair and crib. The location was very central and although on a lively street the double windows made it okay but ear plugs might be a good idea for some on the weekends. There is a beautiful market just 2 blocks away so we ate breakfast in the apartment, made our lunch to take with us (lots of nice picnic places), had snacks on hand and went out for dinner. We had lots of space and the two larger bedrooms are far apart and private. The only item some may not like, but it didn't bother us, is the old dated furniture and the small bathrooms. The owner is very easy to work with and had some food and water already in the apartment. The Wi fi also works well.

My family and I just stayed there and it was a wonderful location from which to base our operations and touring while in Barcelona. The area is hip, funky, and alive at all hours--so bring your earplugs if you are a light sleeper! The back bedroom is probably the prettiest, but it is also the one that is not air-conditioned, so be prepared. Also, the main bathroom that is featured is COMPLETELY FALSE! It is only a narrow shower, toilet, and sink and the space is very small (the shower curtain sticks to you while you are in the shower and then water gets all over the floor) and its overall appearance is quite dated. It is very cool to have one's own balcony from which to look on over Las Ramblas, I must say, but this apartment needs to be refurbished a bit as the furniture in it is looking rather worn. Again, GREAT location, but just know that all you see advertised isn't quite so.

What a marvelous experience we had in Barcelona all due to our choosing this perfect apartment. I was traveling with my 3 young adult children and the accommodations were great for us. The 3 large bedrooms with beds for everyone, kitchen with breakfast area, large living room, great balconies overlooking The Ramblas, and 1 and 1/2 baths were just as represented. It was full of old world charm. Knowing that it was once the tailor's for the opera just added to the charm! The location was great. We were close to everything we wanted to do...explore neighborhoods, visit the market, the harbor, museums, great food and shopping. Everything was so clean and easy. The location was easy to get to from the airport and if we were tired of walking, taxis were always plentiful. The owners were more than helpful accommodating our arrival on Christmas Day, offering great advice on restaurants and activities not to mention they went above and beyond their expected duty in helping us with a problem we had. I look forward to visiting again and hope to stay in the same apartment (or at least another owned by the same person!).

A bit noisy both in front and back. And only 1 shower was a bit of a challenge. But the location was excellent in terms of moving around town. The climate was well controlled as well. Would recommend as long as you can sleep through some noise. Watch out for the stairs as well, could be difficult for some peoplel

A total of six adults rented this wonderful apartment for four nights. We were met promptly by the owner's sister. She also called the next day to see if we experienced any problems or needed anything. For those of you who are traveling with several people I recommend this property. With all the sleeping arrangements and bath and a half it's a great value for the money. The location couldn't be better. Just make sure you have a young and strong enough person with you to carry you luggage of the flights of stairs! I recommend this property to everyone.

La Rambla

My wife and I stayed at Elisenda's place for ten days - along with our 18-year old son, and two of his friends. It couldn't have been better. The guys had their own space, in the huge bedroom in the rear of the apartment. When they weren't running around Barcelona, they loved to hang out, in that room. It has a great feel - along with the rest of the apartment. Not fancy - but very comfortable. The dual glazed doors on the front of the apartment really do make a difference - you can shut off the busy La Rambla, when you need to. Also, being right at the metro stop is a great convenience. You can be out and about all day (or night), and then when you poke your head up out of the metro, you are... home! It's like magic. We had one small plumbing issue, which Elisenda took care of quickly, without fuss. I know where I'm going to stay, next time I'm in Barcelona.

I stayed here for four nights in July 2010. What a wonderful place to see Barcelona!!!! First of all, it is an old tailor's shop and has tons of character. The tailor's insignias are still on the glass doorways. It was very clean and well kept. Agatha was there to be helpful for anything we needed. There is a ton of space here and a great common room to socialize in. We were three men in our 30s traveling around Europe and this was ideal for us. The owner was totally reliable and was there to meet us on time. Also - a big bonus that is unadvertised is that there is a small washer and a place to dry your clothes in the back. This was ideal for us as we minimized our luggage. They also don't advertise how quiet this place is - the street noise on the Ramblas was easily kept out by the insulated glass doors. Front balcony is a huge plus! Close to all the clubs and the Barri Gotic shopping district, I would challenge you to find a better place. P.S. **I disagree with the earlier negative review. The entryway had some peeling paint but this was minor. The TV and all electronics worked fine. Wifi also worked fine.
