The space
Right on Passeig de Gracia only a few meters from Plaza de Catalunya
The Paseo de Gracia B apartment is a 90sqm high-quality rental and one of five properties we manage in this exclusive building.
It is located right on this gorgeous and the city’s wealthiest avenue. Here on Passeig de Gracia is where all the famous designer brands have their stores. Plaça de Catalunya (the main square in Barcelona and center core of the city), as well as the Gothic quarter and Las Ramblas, are only a stone throw away from the apartment. Famous sights such as Gaudi’s La Pedrera (Casa Mila) or Casa Battló are just a few meters up the street. The location is as central as it is exclusive.
The building itself counts as one of the most beautiful ones in this area. It has been constructed in the year 1890. Next, to other features, the beautiful marble entrance has been conserved and maintained and captivates every visitor.
The living room of this apartment is spacious, faces Passeig de Gracia and even has a balcony from where the visitor can overview the avenue down to Placa de Catalunya. Further on the living room is equipped with two comfortable sofas, a big flat-screen TV and a DVD player. One of the two sofas converts in one easy movement into a comfortable double bed. Also in the living room, there is a desk with a chair which comes in handy in case some work needs to be done.
The two bedrooms are situated on both opposite ends of the apartment.
The master suite has a queen-sized canopy bed and a large cupboard. The guests have access to the balcony with views of the Paseo de Gracia. The ensuite bathroom, with a jacuzzi-style tub and shower, also comes with double sinks, WC and bidet.
The second bedroom offers a twin-sized trundle bed (see pictures) and a spacious cupboard. The bedroom can be used as a single room or when pulling out the second bed as a twin room. Right next to this bedroom is the second bathroom which is accessible from the long hallway.
Next to the living room is the dining area with space for up to 6 persons. The kitchen which one accesses from the long hallway next to the dining area is fully equipped with everything one would require to prepare and enjoy a meal in the apartment. Further on at the guest’s disposal are a fridge, freezer, oven, stove, washer, dryer, dishwasher, toaster, coffee maker, kettle as well as an iron and an iron board.
In general:
The apartment and the area are safe. The building has a doorman as well as security cameras in the entrance area. The entrance door of the building, as well as the apartment door, are equipped with security locks. There is also a safety box installed in the apartment.
The Area surrounding the Apartment;
The guest staying at the Passeig de Gracia B apartment will be assured easy access to this lively Mediterranean city and will find that this apartment is a great spot from which to map out daily jaunts and from which to explore all that this fantastic city has to offer.
Most of Barcelona’s famous spots of interest such as Gaudi’s La Pedrera, the Picasso museum, the Cathedral, Las Ramblas with the well known Boqueria fresh food market, the old town with the gothic quarter and El Borne as well as the harbor are reachable within a few minutes walking (no transportation needed). If public transportation is needed for example to visit Gaudi’s Park Guell or Sagrada Familia (the symbol of the city), there would be a metro station literally right in front of the building’s entrance with access to 3 lines (L2, L3, and L4). The L4 (yellow line) would bring guests also to the beaches Barceloneta, Port Olimpic/ Ciutadella, and Poble Nou. The line L3 (green line) would bring the guest for example to Barca’s impressive football stadium CAMP NOU. The underground metro in Barcelona is cheap and fast. There would also be the option to take a taxi which in Barcelona is also cheaper than in most western European cities. Taxis are circulating in this area 24h. There is a taxi stop right at the next street corner (15 meters from the apartment). To get to the beach by taxi from the apartment would take about 10 minutes (depending on the traffic) and would not cost more than 7,- Euros.
REVIEWS
***** Marcel was very responsive to questions. The location was great, very walkable to various sites, restaurants and transportation. Would highly recommend!
***** Great spot for a family of 4. Our kids (5 and 7) enjoyed the bed and trundle bed setup and the apartment feels really spacious with the living room, balconies, and dining area. Perfect location for walking to the key sites and many great restaurants nearby. Loved our visit!
***** We loved our stay at Marcel’s place. The place matches the description and pictures well. The apartment is well situated to see the major sites and feel safe in the city. Another great part was Marcel’s personal recommendations on restaurants, make sure to try them out!
***** Beautiful, elegant apartment in perfect location close to shops and restaurants! Truly one of a kind!! Highly recommend!!
***** This is a great apartment with a beautiful set of balconies right on the Passeig de Gracia. It’s fun to look out onto the boulevard, and there are lots of restaurants and pedestrian streets near by, and you can easily walk to the Gothic Quarter, and to many of Gaudi’s most impressive buildings. The second bedroom is rather small, but the master is very nice and the bathrooms are modern and clean. The living room is also quite pleasant. Also a beautiful entrance to the building and it’s right on the first floor so easy to get to.
***** Marcel was great. He was waiting when we arrived for check in. Explained everything to us. The apartment wasn’t yet cleaned but he allowed us to leave our luggage so we could walk around the area while we were waiting to fully access the apartment later. Fantastic location!
***** Safe and chic apartment in a great location. Marcel was the best host and the home was spacious and comfortable.
***** Marcel’s apartment was lovely. We spent a blissful week there. The location is unbeatable. You walk out the front door and the metro and a bus stop is right there. Also it’s easy to get a cab and they pick you up right there.
The apartment is surrounding by fabulous shops, great restaurants and good grocery stores. One of Gaudi’s commissioned house is one block from the apartment. The apartment itself is lovely, it has huge windows in the living room and the bedroom. They look right out on the Main Street. There is a beautiful tree in front of the window that glimmers in the afternoon sunlight. It doesn’t block the view but it does provide a little privacy.
The bed is very comfortable, the living room is a great place to have a drink after a day of sightseeing. The kitchen has everything you need. There is a huge tub in the master bedroom! We will be back to beautiful Barcelona and when we do, we will book again with Marcel.
