PASSEIG DE GRACIA - THE MOST EXCLUSIVE AVENUE IN THE HEART OF THE CITY.
FANTASTIC LOCATION

You have heard of Fifth Avenue or Champs Elysees - Well, this is PASSEIG DE GRACIA - the same upmarket, central location you want to feel at home in when visiting Barcelona - Just a stones throw from the Famous "Las Ramblas" and with Wifi connection to keep in touch.

A Very Special Apartment in an unbeatable location. You cannot get much better than this and I am proud to be the owner.

Let us not beat around the bush. This is a wonderful gem in every way: Excellent large Studio Loft with oodles of character within an extremely elegant turn of the century modernista building, AND, with the best location possible - PASSEIG DE GRACIA/PASEO DE GRACIA.

Just look at a map and you can see immediately that an apartment on PASSEIG DE GRACIA, seconds from the famous LAS RAMBLAS is a real find! This is THE address in Barclona. The Studio Loft is part of a beautiful grand building as one would expect from the location, PASSEIG DE GRACIA - THE ADDRESS IN BARCELONA.

You enter into a wonderful marble hall with elaborate wrought iron work, stained glass and an extremely elegant staircase. You can see immediately that this is a very fine building indeed. There are two glass lifts/elevators up to the fifth floor where the spacious, very high ceilinged, Studio Loft is located in the "Mansard" - excellent views.

As you enter you immediately notice the space of this very stylish Studio Loft with enormously high wooden cathedral style ceilings - I could easily add another floor but like the feel and character of this home as it is.
The bathroom is also spacious and is all white, marble and clean with bathtub, shower, bidet etc etc.
The kitchen area has all that is needed for a very comfortable stay - naturally all crockery, cutlery etc is provided.

Here you will find an oven, burners, toaster,coffee makers, electric kettle, microwave, fridge, washing machine etc etc. the living area is very comfortable and cosy and naturally fully furnished with armchair, comfortable double sofabed, bookshelves, TV, DVD, music centre, cupboard space, dining table and chairs. The sleeping area has a Queen size bed and ample wardrobe space.

Naturally it is fully air conditioned and heated. What more can I say??This is truly an exceptional property in the absolute best position possible in town!! I consider this to be of very good value.

Just seconds from Plaza Catalunya and therefore a two minute walk to the famous Las Ramblas and the Gothic Quarter. PASSEIG DE GRACIA of course has the famous Gaudi buildings, Casa Batllo and La Pedrera PLUS all the best shops in town!! All within literally minutes of the Studio. The Location could not be bettered.

To cover some basics - Yes, all linen, towels, cutlery, crockery etc are provided. .

The supermarket is located just a minute away and is open till 1000pm nightly (except Sundays). I shall be pleased to answer any questions you may have regarding your stay in this lovely mediterranean city and happy to welcome you to this super Studio Loft.

Owner's Profile

Owner Description

Year Purchased: 1998

Hello, I am Derek, a freelance European Tour Director and a Londoner.

Why the Owner Chose Barcelona

This is an easy question! I chose to live on Passeig de Gracia as it is "THE" address in Barcelona. Passeig de Gracia is the most elegant and most central avenue of the city. Having lived for two years on Passeig de Gracia, loving every minute of the sheer ease of living within walking distance of everything and being in the heart of such a wonderful city, I decided to buy another apartment, this lovely studio loft in 1998. My original home on Passeig de Gracia is listing 11323 which is also on VRBO. This studio had everything I wanted: The right location, a beautiful period building, unusual ceiling features and a magnificent view of the city.

The Unique Benefits of this Loft

I often stay at this flat when in Barcelona. As with 11323, this is in the middle of everything - a perfect location. Diagonally opposite is Barcelona's main department store with an extremely well stocked supermarket with wet fish counter, butcher , greengrocer and fruiterer - all the best products opposite my studio loft. Arrival and departure is also fantastically easy, I feel spoilt! The Airbus to the airport departs and arrives just outside El Corte Ingles, the above mentioned department store - in other words, opposite the flat.
When staying here, I very rarely use transport of any kind as I can walk everywhere. In the summer months, the beach is just a 10 minute(if that) metro ride away.

      Derek - We're leaving today and, as you might have guessed, we wish we weren't! Your apartment is great! And we also love Barcelona. I'm sure we will be contacting you again in the future about renting your apt. again - hopefully for a longer period of time. Thanks for everything. Stay well. Miles

      We very much enjoyed our stay - the apartment was very comfortable and the location couldn't have been better (although next time we might try to avoid being there when Barcelona advances to the European soccer final which resulted in a celebration somewhat akin to VE day)

      Hi Derek, ..................... We're having a great time with perfect weather for sightseeing. I can't remember when I've seen so many museums and galleries in such a short time but the busses and metro are so easy to use. We're off to a concert tonight at the Palau de la Musica Catalana and we're really looking forward to that. We love the studio. Its location certainly is superb. Kind regards, Alistair

      Dear Derek --- I just remembered two things: I never called to properly thank you for renting us that marvelous studio loft in Barcelona, and You may have (or know about) an apartment to let in London? Thought I would write just in case --- I will be in (your) town Nov 26-Dec 1, and in need of an apartment, room, cottage, flat --- whatever. Any thoughts? Best, Barbara Heyns

It is centrally situated and one can reach any place by all means of transportation . We would love to use similar apartments in our future holidays. Thank you Judith and Zuri Kirschbaum
