Holiday apartment for rent in Barcelona

This recently refurbished 35m2 (380 SQ. ft) studio is situated on the top floor of a 5 story building with a somewhat narrow and simple staircase very typical to those youll find in Barceloneta. The entrance of the building is not the most enchanting one, but the climb up the stairs is definitely worth it since you are one of the few habitants of the building who will actually make use of the communal terrace which is just one flight up from this stylish and comfortable beach apartment.

The terrace view of Port Vell, the old harbor and the Barceloneta roof lines make the apartment a perfect location to relax and enjoy a late night summer drink or dinner. Inside the apartment youll discover an interior done with vision and style; waxed earth tones and wooden beams complement original hand painted floor tiles and sanded walls in a luminous interior.

With just 35m2 of floor space, the distribution of the apartment is efficient with a lounge area, a dining area and a spacious bedroom with plenty of storage space. The bathroom is particularly sweet, since the architect spent days collecting pebbles on the Barceloneta Beach to complete his Gaudi-esque mosaic on the walls and floors of the shower and lavatory.
The overall feel of the apartment is tranquil, luminous and spacious; making this an ideal location to get away from it all and still be near the area with the most active nightlife of the city (El Born, Villa Olimpica).


The apartment is located in the former fishermans quarter of Barcelona called Barceloneta. A short walk from the city centre, Barceloneta seems like a village in its own right.
This manmade extension to the seafront was constructed to house the dislodged residents of La Ribera when the Ciutadella fortress (now transformed into the wonderful Ciutadella Park) was built in the XVIII century.

Nowadays, the oceans breeze blows through the narrow streets stirring up the laundry hanging from the balconies. Images of neighbors chatting with each other on street corners in the early afternoon provide a typical reflection of the local life, which many say is the most authentic of the city. You will find a lively, village-like atmosphere with a good choice of (mostly) seafood restaurants, tapas- and fishermans bars.
Barceloneta is situated alongside the beach and about 5 minutes walking to the Ciutadella Park and the cultural and hip El Born neighborhood (with the Picasso museum, many designer shops and clubs, etc). From your doorstep you can also take a walk along the Passeig de Colom and the Old Harbor towards the famous Las Ramblas with its human statues, portrait artists and flower sellers. The beach is literally down the street where you can stroll along the lively boulevard leading to the Port Ol’mpic and beyond towards the citys beaches and the new build Forum center.

Close to the apartment you will find the old harbour Port Vell, the beach of Barceloneta, the Torre de San Sebastia, where you can take the cable car to the Montjuic, a surf-board and sail boat renting company, Parc Ciutadella, the hip and happening el Born, the subway stop Barceloneta.
