Fantastic and Bright Apartment in the Heart of Gothic area 10 min from the beach

Great 70 m² apartment with lots of natural light that consists of 2 large double bedrooms (one with a double bed and the other with 2 single trundle beds, both beds are comfortable), 4 balconies, living-dining room with 1 double sofa bed comfortable, kitchen and 1 bathroom with shower. The apartment is in the fourth floor an old building typical of the Gothic quarter. Both have been recently renovated. The modern and beautiful decoration of the apartment combines perfectly with the old style of the building. The building is accessed from Ripoll Street but the apartment and the main façade face the Plaza dels Peixos (Fish Square). As a curious fact, in the building where this apartment is located, the oldest pharmacy in the city still operates. Public parking very close to the apartment (Avinguda de la Catedral). Note: there is an even closer parking lot, but for the first day it is easier to get to the one on Av. de la Catedral. The building where the apartment is located is right next to the Gothic cathedral of Barcelona, just 500 meters from the port and its adjacent beaches. Due to its unique location, it is not necessary to use any type of transport, being a 5-minute walk from Las Ramblas and Plaça Catalunya. Most of the museums and most important attractions are accessible on foot, however the main Bus and Metro lines are located right next to the apartment. It does not have an elevator like most of the old buildings in the Gothic quarter.




The city of Barcelona has a tourist tax of 5€ per person/ day to be paid in cash on arrival at the apartment.


* If the arrival is later than 20:00h, there will be a surcharge of 30 € to be paid in cash on arrival.
**If the arrival is later than 00:00h, there will be a surcharge of 50€ to be paid in cash at the time of arrival.

Great location!

We really enjoyed our stay here. It was close to lots of places to eat, shop, and sightseeing. Just know that you have to take your luggage up 5 flights of stairs. The staff was easy to work with and very accommodating.

Awesome stay in the Gothic Quarter!

Great apartment! Old world charm and modern amenities. Excellent location if you want to visit the beach or downtown. Be aware the apartment is on the 4th floor and there is no elevator. Staircase is very narrow. Best to bring small luggage or just backpack.

Fabulous location!

Perfect for exploring everything Barcelona has to offer. Beds are comfy , heating worked very well , it was cold in Barcelona, and the kitchen had everything we needed. As has been mentioned in other reviews there are a lot of stairs and the building is old , which I loved, so you get exposed beams fabulous brick walls and slightly wonky stairs . We would happily stay again!

Great location! Very central and comfortable.

This location could not have been more optimal. Felt very private despite being in the middle of the city. It was very clean too. The fourth floor walk up wasn’t a big deal for us but now that my mom has some ADA needs I am very conscious of limitations. I feel like that should be in the description. Having a washing machine was wonderful and wish I had known that in advance. Lastly, one of the twin beds is a glorified squeaky cot and is terrible uncomfortable. Putting in a real bed with a real mattress would make this place 5 stars. However, that mattress is miserable and made for some rough nights of sleep. Overall good place to stay with great potential with a new bed. Two pillows per bed would be a nice upgrade too.

Great Barcelona rental

This rental worked out beautifully for our stay in Barcelona. The location was perfect. Right in the middle of everything so we could walk everywhere. Apartment was clean and beds were comfortable. Kitchen was stocked so we could make simple meals for our family. Lots of stairs, but not a problem for our group. Would definitely recommend a stay here if you can handle the 75 steps up.

Great location for a short term stay

The apartment was in a perfect location for a few days of exploring Barcelona. Easy to get around everywhere and the management company was very helpful. The spacious living room is great, though the cot bed in the smaller bedroom was quite uncomfortable. The check in process wasn’t ideal, with the team member meeting us showing up over an hour past our set meeting time with no communication to us that this would be the case. Other than that, we had no issues with the apartment or making arrangements.

Great place in a great location.

The hosts are the most responsive and accommodating. They greeted us at check-in and oriented us with the apartment. We were prepared for the steps so that didn't bother us and I think they might factor that into the price. An apartment of that caliber in that location with an elevator would cost three times what we paid so since we are physically fit, we felt it was an exceptional value. The location is very good and you can walk everywhere. We would definitely go back.

Fab above the sky

Excellent location in gothic sector. No need for car rental. Right in the middle of the section. fabulous, well equipped & clean appartment, but description fails to mention a few things… the lack of washroom intimacy (gap in door), the ridiculous amount of floors you need to climb to get to your level (no elevator) and the lengthy process you need to go through to get your keys.

Incredible location

The place is beautiful and check in was a mess but I think not a usual circumstance— the additional charges when we got there were really what I was unhappy about. They charged fees for travelers. No other place did that. Seemed like a scam. But great place and service. We certainly paid for it!

Great central location and well stocked apartment. It should be noted that apartment 'WHITE' is located on the 4th floor. This means that there are 75 narrow steps to navigate to the front door. Lifting suitcases to and from the apartment was a challenge. There is no fire escape other than the main stairwell which is narrow enough for only a single person to walk down - you cannot walk down two abreast. The apartment is centrally located and you can easily walk to anywhere within the Gothic quarter
