This apartment represents a unique opportunity to experience Barcelona in comfortable, luminous surroundings that are furnished with a modern, practical interior. Location: close by the Picasso Museum.
There are three bedrooms, kitchen, a dining area, living-room, bathroom and three balconies overlooking the narrow, charming street in one of the city’s most picaresque neighbourhoods: El Born of the Ciutat Vella district. The building dating back to 1850 has been stylishly renovated which is also the case with the flat that was refurbished and equipped with new electrical appliances and interior in 2006. Whether you are a family with children, friends travelling together or a couple looking for a romantic experience this flat is a very good point of departure for a successful stay.
It is difficult to find a more central location in Barcelona than this. Crossing Via Laietana, a main avenue that connect L’Eixample with the Port, you enter the historic Barri Gótic - Gothic Quarter -. The flat is literarily, just a few steps away from seafront, the Port Olímpic -Olympic harbour -, art-galleries, delicatessen, design boutiques (this being one of the city’s hottest shopping areas), restaurants, cafés, bars and main attractions as the Museu Picasso, 20 meters from the flat, and the Palau de la Música Catalana, a leading concert hall - World Heritage Site by UNESCO -. This might be the city’s nicest area to take a stroll in, and it is a short distance to several metro lines making very easy to reach those attractions that are not in the immediate vicinity.
Parking
There are several parking options nearby. Also, there are two other more economical alternatives:
1. There is a parking not far from the apartment (+/- 1.3 Km) which has a price of +/- 57 euros for 3 nights, +/- 85 euros for 5 nights, +/- 102 euros for 7 nights, +/- 114 euros for 10 nights, +/- 137 euros for 15 nights, etc. (you have to ask for the Day Card). If you are going to use the car during your stay it's possible without paying again. We think it's a good price because it's not easy to park in the street in Barcelona city center and parkings have an average price +/- 25-40 euros per day.
2. There is another parking not far from the apartment (+/- 1.3 Km) where you can park the car for only 75 euros for max. 8 days. if you are going to use the car during your stay then you'll have to pay again. This is a good alternative if you are not going to use your car during your stay. We advise you to use the public transport.
