PASSEIG DE GRACIA - THE MOST EXCLUSIVE AVENUE IN THE HEART OF THE CITY.
THE ABSOLUTE BEST LOCATION POSSIBLE IN BARCELONA.
A wonderful, spacious, open plan Studio loft with 24 hour wifi connection if you bring your laptop. The absolute best location possible. You cannot be more centrally located. Passeig de Gracia is the most upmarket avenue of Barcelona with the best shops and Gaudi buildings = Casa Batllo and La pedrera are in the same avenue. Being on the corner of Plaza Catalunya, puts you in the heart of the city with the best public transport connections, the airport shuttle bus and of course, most things of interest within walking distance.
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, sofas, 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.
AVAILABLE ONLY FOR 1 OR 2 RESPONSIBLE ADULTS OR A RESPONSIBLE FAMILY. This is not a party place!

Map & Owner's Profile
Passeig De Gracia - Plaza Catalunya. Prime Location
Year Purchased: 1998
Why the Owner Chose Eixample
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 at this Apartment
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.

This listing is everything it says and more. My partner and I spent six nights here over Christmas week and absolutely loved the apartment. Well-appointed, clean, comfortable bed and plenty of linens, pillows, blankets, towels, etc... It is truly a home away from home and the vaulted ceilings and large windows give it a very spacious feel for a one room apartment. The location is ideal for airport transit, metro, La Rambla, great shopping and restaurants, Gaudi buildings, etc...Passeig de Gracia is a busy street so there is some traffic noise to be expected even on the 5th floor but not bad. Derek was very professional and communicated promptly to our many emails and our local contact was reliable and helpful as well. We've rented many vrbo apartments and this was our favorite so far. Thanks Derek for sharing your home!

Hi Derek, we had a brilliant weekend. Sunny and warm for three days, unbelievable. The apartment was great, and I like how the bookcases were moved to the hall wall instead of being the room divider as in the past. Both beds were very comfortable and we managed to sleep in late every day. Location couldn't be better; in fact, due to construction on Pl. Catalunya, the Airport bus location was moved directly in front of the apartment building. What could be easier? Many thanks, hope to be there again one day. Susan

This was our first visit to Barcelona from the US. We loved the city and the apartment was a perfect spot for my husband and I to spend five days. The view is wonderful from the 5th floor windows, the height--with the windows closed (they do open) , deadens the noise from Barcelona's very busy streets.The elevator is a plus, although the staircase bannister is simply an elegant thing to see and photograph. Plenty of public transportation downstairs; many of the city's most important buildings are on the same or nearby streets. Highly recommended.

I would highly recommend this apartment. The owner had timely responses in making arrangements and answering any questions we had prior to our arrival. He was also quick to find out if we had encountered any problems during our stay. We had never been to Barcelona and had no idea where we wanted to be located. I went by the reviews and they are all correct! We were near many attractions and restaurants, but the loft itself was a quiet place to retreat. There was an elevator so you didn't have to haul your luggage up the stairs. We took advantage of the grocery store and farmers market nearby (off Las Ramblas) which had everything you could need. If you are interested in taking the Metro, it is in front of the apt. Passeig do Gracia is truly the promenade of thanks! We were very thankful for our great experience! Gracias, Derek, and hopefully we will be back again soon!
