Holiday apartment for rent in Barcelona

The property is a typical period flat dating back to 1860. The flat is situated in one of the most central streets in the Upper Raval area of the city and has fast become a trendy area for locals and tourists alike. It is incredibly well located, with buses, metros and trains no less than 3 minutes walk away (nearest metro is Universitat). The airport bus stops at Universitat and is less than 5 minutes walk to the property. The famous Ramblas is a very pleasant 5 minutes walk away. This street in the Upper Raval neighbourhood has a good mix of bars, cafés and restaurants as well as art galleries, supermarkets and bakers – in fact, anything you could want in one street! Placa Catalunya, the city´s most central square is just 8 minutes walk away.

Around the corner from the flat is Pla dels Angels – a big lively square with pavement cafés and restaurants and a few trendy shops. However, the focus of the square is MACBA, Museum of Contemporary Art of Barcelona. It´s a gleaming white stone and glass building and a great location for art buffs. In and around this square are also some very important medieval buildings, most famously the Angels Convent.

The apartment is located on the fourth floor (no lift) of a 150 year old mansion block. The building was originally owned by a countess and when entering the main doors there is an elegant entrance with a large arched wooden doors, on the other side was where she would have kept her horses and carriage.

Inside the flat there is a spacious open plan living area with adjacent kitchen (fully equipped) which creates a contemporary dining and sitting room. The flat has a great deal of natural light. There are sliding French windows onto the back inner well, with a clothes line to dry clothes – very useful for small items.

The master bedroom, which is off the living area, is a generous size (17m2) with original ceramic tiled floor, in here there are twin beds.This bedroom has a small balcony onto the main street (windows are all double glazed with blinds) with good views below and across the roof tops.

The second sleeping (12m2) area has a kingsize sofa bed which is very comfortable and if only two people are renting, it makes a nice second sitting room to sit in and read and listen to music.

The flat has one shower room.
