About this property

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.


During your stay at this apartment building, you're just a quick walk from Barcelona Cathedral. Free WiFi and a kitchen are available in the apartment.

The apartment is really lovely and located close to a lot of interesting attractions. Mercat de la Boqueria is a short walk way along with the beach, Plaça de Catalunya, and others. The host was very accommodating, especially when we needed to extend our stay by a day.

We were so happy with the location, the space, the overall experience was more than I ever could’ve expected. The owner of the property and the agent were very accommodating to all my needs. Highly appreciated the transfer to in front of the airport. I would have you recommend the space to anybody wanting to travel Barcelona MP in the heart of the city.

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.

We really enjoyed our stay in this apartment. It was a good size, comfortable, clean, and had everything we needed. The location is excellent - right in the gothic quarter and very central to many tourist sights and transportation. The one thing to be aware of is accessibility. The apartment is on the 4th floor (counting the European way) so there are a lot of stairs to climb to get there (no elevator). If you would have issues climbing 75 steps to get in and out of the apartment, then this isn't the place for you.

Perfect location. Apartment is clean, well furnished, has plenty of windows/doors that let fresh air and light in. Interesting layout on a street corner, 5-sided polygon shape. Excellent communication with Pia, who's in charge of all the details.It's been mentioned but the stairs, 4 stories, can be a challenge for some. First time seeing fully digital app-based door locks, loved it.

Fantastic location for a Barcelona visit

We had a fantastic time in Barcelona and this apartment was about perfect for us. The location is fantastic and it has everything you need. Only drawbacks were the stairs (as mentioned by others) but also the bathroom/shower aren't well lit and feel a bit dated/needing a renovation.

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.

The check in process was smooth. The apt was clean, comfortable and spacious. It had everything we needed. We had an issue with the tv and it was resolved quickly. The only thing I didn't really like was the the entrance was a metal grafittied door.

Great location. Just one block from the cathedral but on a small side street that was very quiet. Apartment was well equipped, air conditioning worked well and bathroom was nice. Only issue is it is on the fourth floor and there are no elevators. Worked okay for us, we just limited how times we would go in and out of the apartment. But be aware it does take some effort to get your luggage up and down the stairs.

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!
