Holiday apartment for rent in Barcelona

If you look at a map of Barcelona, our apartment is in the very center. It is in Gràcia, one of Barcelona’s historic neighborhoods, known for its small streets, lively plazas and outdoor cafes, plethora of restaurants of all ethnicities, shops and boutiques, art-house movie theaters, mom-and-pop grocery stores and delectable bakeries. It is authentic Barcelona at its best: a mix of safe and friendly small-town combined with hip fashion and gourmet food.

Our apartment is a five minute walk from Barcelona’s Boardwalk and Park Place: the Passeig de Gràcia where you can find Gaudí’s Pedrera and Casa Batlló as well as a cacophony of other Catalan modernist architecture, and Rambla de Catalunya, the lush, tree-lined, cafe-centered boulevard flanked by Barcelona’s most exclusive shops with views of Tibidabo at one end and the Plaça Catalunya at the other. The Gothic Quarter, with the famed Rambles, Picasso Museum, and Cathedral, among many other things, is just below Plaça Catalunya.

One of the things that distinguishes our apartment from other rentals is that my family and I actually live here part of the year. That means you’ll find comfortable modern furniture, a well equipped kitchen, cotton sheets and cozy blankets on the beds, wireless DSL for speedy Internet access, a flat screen television and DVD player/recorder, central heating, a washing machine, and a telephone with free calls to all land lines in Spain. The apartment really works.

Do note that the apartment is a fifth-floor walk-up. There are 91 stairs, but alas, no elevator. The reward is the lovely terrace with views of Tibidabo.
