A VERY WARM WELCOME TO CATALONIA:
Catalonia is a small country of six million inhabitants but it has more than a thousand years of history and a culture and language of its own which have forged a very distinct character.
Today Catalonia is an Autonomous Community within Spain an occupies an area of 31,930 square kilometers.
The people of Catalonia have always been open to the outside world. We love to welcome foreigners and show them our homeland. And we like them to feel at home among us. Perhaps that is why so many visit us. Every year millions of tourists flock to our seaside resorts without realizing that, a short distance from the sundrenched Mediterranean beaches, there are places of artistic interest, historic buildings and landscapes which are equally well worth seeing.
We hope you find it useful and we wish you an enjoyable stand.

Why the Owner Chose Ciutat Vella
We bought this property because we love Barcelona.
We have this property here in the Gothic Quarter in Barcelona city center because it's a nice place to stay for a few days as it's calm and comfortable and also it's a great point from where you can have access to the main attractions.
The Unique Benefits at this Apartment
From our property, which is located right in front of the Roman Wall, you can experience living in the origin of Barcelona.
As it's in the corner of a building there is a lot of natural light.
Also, there are no words to explain the feeling of relaxing in the great hammock we have in the apartment. Then, you can take a real Spanish Siesta.

We loved this apartment. We were met promptly upon arrival. The apartment is very clean and well stocked. We enjoyed the hammock and comfortable living room. The beds were great and the bathroom worked for the 5 of us. The location was great. We walked to many of the sights and the metro was close when we needed to go farther afield.

The apartment is very sweet and warm and it's as it looks in the photos, which is always a relief!. It was very clean. The location is really good and safe, just a few seconds walk from Placa Reial, La Ramblas, the beach, boqueria and metro. A few minutes walk from Placa Catalunya. Many great restaurants and bars. We cooked a lot and the kitchen is well equipped and was easy to work in. Jacob was really nice and showed us where we should visit, and how to get to places. He was really caring.

Review Submitted: 12/16/11
We found the apartment to be absolutely wonderful for our stay (three adults) in Barcelona. The property was very accurately described by the photos and text in the listing. I did suggest to Jacob a more detailed map or set of directions would be helpful as our taxi driver had difficulties finding the location (turns out Pom d'Or is the shortest street in Barcelona!). The balconies overlooking Placa de Traginers and the Roman wall were simply magnificent. The apartment is up three flights of stairs (solid concrete/stone stairs, with good hand rails) so some walking is required. The free Wi Fi, washing machine and fully equipped kitchen were really nice. The apartment is only a 5-10 minute walk along the Roman Wall tothe Jaume station and maybe 10-12 minutes over to the Liceu station. As you come out onto the street (more of a pedestrian walkway really) from the aprtment, if you turn right it is only about 20 meters to a really nice little local restauant. Great homemade sangria and pretty good paella (we actually liked the paella better here than at 7 Portes when we ate there later). This location is just about unbeatable. We did take down the hammock in the living room so we could sit and have unobstructed views out the French doors ontothe balcony. Each room is equiped with a ceramic heater so each of us were able to adjust bedroom temperatures to our liking. Jacob and Elizabeth have also installed an air conditioning unit which should allow you to close the windows in the summer (for noise abatement) if needed. Elozabeth and Jacob were both very helpful and accommodating throughout the process.
Owner response:What a loooong review! We take note of your suggestion to improve the map we always send to our guests to find the location. As the apartment is located in the shortest street of Barcelona and not everybody knows it, the advantage is that our guests are located in a quiet area and it’s easy to walk everywhere. Also, we are happy you enjoyed not only the historical center but also our mediterranean food. A good Paella with Sangria is always welcome in our land but you have to know where to eat it and why not, how to prepare it.

Review Submitted: 12/15/11
We enjoyed our stay at this excellently located apartment. We were walking distance to many of Barcelona's sites and felt very safe there with our 3 young children. The apartment was clean and the owners were very pleasant and willing to assist. Our kids were very happy with the toys and drawing/coloring supplies there, very nice. We were happy to have the grocery store right around the corner and the kitchen was well-appointed. Thank you for enhancing our trip to Barcelona!
Owner response:We are glad you and your children had a nice stay in our apartment and around. As we have three young daughters we thought it would be a good idea to have toys in our apartment for our family guests with children.

The location is very good, apartment as well. We absolutely loved it. You need to climb a few stairs (2nd floor) but it’s worth it. The apartment is spacious and everything is clean. The owners were lovely and really helpful if you need any suggestions of where to go. I would certainly stay here again.

Review Submitted: 10/02/11
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this apartment in September 2011. It was a perfect location for exploring the Gothic Quarter, and it is located in a square with some important historical relics. Licy was extremely responsive by e-mail when we were inquiring about the property as well as during our stay. The cleaners did a terrific job getting the unit ready for us (we happened to see it before they arrived and were very impressed at how it looked after they were done). Our only wish would have been to have had better supplies of things like toilet paper, trashcan liners, and body soap. But those were minor issues compared to the many strengths of the apartment, and we felt that we got a lot for our money.

My husband, three grown sons, and I stayed in this wonderful apartment for a week and we loved everything about it. We enjoyed the proximity to the beach, loved walking around the Gothic Quarter, found the Metro and taxi stand to be within easy walking distance – which was important because my husband was on crutches (due to an injury a few days before we arrived). The apartment was clean, very comfortable, and full of character. We loved the restaurant that is within easy crutching distance – L'Antic Bocoi del Gotic – so much that we went there three times. It is right off the courtyard that the apartment looks down on. We miss it all! Thank you for the wonderful Barcelona experience.

It was difficult to find an appartment for only one night stay! Thanks to Jacob who could offer this to us. The apartment is excellent, clean and tidy with all the amenities you could ask for. The owners were very welcoming, easy to deal with and very informative. The photographs are a true reflection. We had no problems with safety. The apartment is in a good location and I would easily recommend staying here.
