This late nineteenth century 60 m2 (645 sq. feet) building has been completely modernized to create a distinctively relaxing and original hideaway in the bustling, trendy El Born district in Barcelona. Just a stone’s throw from the Picasso museum, Ciutadella Park, and Plaça St.Jaume, it is the ideal base for your adventures in the city.
Your city retreat is on the third floor, reachable by elevator (you need to walk up one floor to reach the elevator). As you enter the apartment, it opens out into a spacious open-plan living/dining area with two passageways connecting the living room with the bedroom. In the mid section of the apartment you will find the kitchen on one side and a bathroom with shower and toilet on the other.
You will be surprised by the calm and comfortable interior with an abundance of sunlight. Three sets of balcony doors open up to the street side, and on the opposite side a window opens onto a picturesque alley connecting Princesa street with Carrer Boria. The airy surrounding, its central location and the wireless ADSL internet connection make this apartment an ideal sanctuary and temporary home.
Shop for the latest in fashion, interior decoration or art. Have lunch at one of the area's countless restaurants. Get inspired at the many museums in and around El Born. Or just wander about in the streets and look up in complete awe at the amazing architecture.
Socialise with the local and international crowd at, say, a cocktail lounge, a traditional tapas bar, or at one of the 'terrazas' in the narrow, winding streets. Or stroll down a little further and kick back at the beach in the sand or at one of those elegant yet informal beach clubs.
Close to the apartment, you will find the Picasso Museum, the Textile Museum, the Gothic Basilica Santa Maria del Mar, Las Ramblas with the famous food market the Boqueria, Parc Ciutadella, the old harbour and the beach of Barceloneta, a public parking, the subway stop Jaume I.
