Photos and Description of the Ciutat Vella vacation apartment rental
Apartment, 3 Double Bedrooms, 1 Bath, (Sleeps 1-6)

Welcome to Barcelona!

When booking a vacation rental it's important to know who will be available to help if there are any problems with the rental. For this reason we think it's always wisest to work with a local owner / representative that specializes in vacation rentals. We are owners and we also manage other owners’ properties.

Our guests are not charged with a booking fee added on and don’t have to pay the full amount in advance. There is a reservation payment when booking of 30% and the rest can be paid on arrival.

You’re wondering how much could this wonderful apartment cost?

If you want you can send us an e-mail and we will respond quickly to offer this or another of our apartments. If you are a family with children please let us know the age of your children to know if you need baby cot.

OUR GUESTS are mature and young couples, families with older and young children, groups of friends and solo travelers.

WELCOME TO OUR 3 BEDROOM APARTMENT IN EL BORN IN THE HISTORICAL CENTER OF BARCELONA:

This three bedroom flat is located in the central Ciutat Vella district of Barcelona with a unique location across from the recently rebuilt Mercat de Santa Caterina. This market is not only a recent addition to the body of architectural landmarks in the city, but a place to sample top quality local produce. The flat is on the corner of a building with a protected façade as an important part of architectural history.

This apartment has three separated bedrooms with balconies / windows (one double bedroom and the other 2 bedrooms with 2 single beds each that can be together or separated). There is air conditioning and central heating in all the bedrooms and in the living-room. All the balconies are completely isolated with double glass.

The quality of the accommodation and the impecable personalized service are the advantages that make this property perfect for clients looking for an exceptional holiday right in the historical center of Barcelona.

Parking: there are several parkings nearby. Please let us know if you are coming by car to inform you about parking facilities. It's important to know if you are going to use your car or not during your stay in order to give you an accurate information of the most suitable and economical parking.

THE APARTMENT IS LOCATED IN EL BORN AREA IN THE HISTORICAL CENTER:

El Born has grown into being one of the most fashionable places in the city.

El Born isn't just about the nightlife, there is plenty of culture to be had as well. It can be seen that Calle Montcada was also a medieval street, which is now home to the Picasso museum and the Textile Museum which has a great little café with a terrace attached to it. The textile museum is located here because in Born's early days it was home to the textile guilds of Barcelona. There is also a beautiful cathedral which you can wander around in, sometimes even when there is a wedding going on!

Nowadays people are attracted to El Born for the shopping which consists of some beautiful but pricey boutiques and shoe shops which are great to find that one-off piece.

El Born is sandwiched between Via Laietana and Barceloneta and is served by the metro stops Barceloneta and Jaume 1 which are on the same yellow line. Las Ramblas and the very centre of the city are a pleasant 10 minute walk away.

The beach is also just a 10 minute walk away so you can have both a beach holiday and a city break in one. Plus you are quite close to the Parc Ciutadella which is a relaxing place to sit in the afternoon and watch the hippies play their bongos. The Barcelona zoo is also located in Parc Ciutadella.

As you can see El Born is perfect for families as well as tourists. Noise could sometimes be a problem depending on where you are but it's not as bad as in the very centre of town. It is a picturesque and cultural part of the city with a vibrant café culture and bar scene.

The location is just a short walk from the fashionable El Born area including one of the most exciting tourist attractions in the city: the Museu Picasso and the Palau de la Música Catalana, a leading concert hall - World Heritage Site by UNESCO -. Walking to the Barri Gotic is a quick affair and the famous street of Las Ramblas is just 10 min. away on foot. Most of the city's main attractions (including the Gaudí works of Palau Guell, Casa Batlló, Casa Milá and La Sagrada Familia) and relaxing beaches are within walking distance or a short subway ride away.

Regular capacity 4/5 people. Maximum capacity for 5/6 people.

Cleaning fee (apartment, linen and towels). We provide sheets and towels.

A VERY WARM WELCOME TO CATALONIA:

Catalonia is a small country of six million inhabitants but it has more than a thousand years of history and a culture and language of its own which have forged a very distinct character.

Today Catalonia is an Autonomous Community within Spain an occupies an area of 31,930 square kilometers.

The people of Catalonia have always been open to the outside world. We love to welcome foreigners and show them our homeland. And we like them to feel at home among us. Perhaps that is why so many visit us. Every year millions of tourists flock to our seaside resorts without realizing that, a short distance from the sundrenched Mediterranean beaches, there are places of artistic interest, historic buildings and landscapes which are equally well worth seeing.

We hope you find it useful and we wish you an enjoyable stand.

We bought this property because we love Barcelona. We have this property here in 'El Born' in Barcelona city center because it's a nice place to stay for a few days as it's calm and comfortable and also it's a great point from where you can have access to the main attractions.

In love with Barcelona and this apartment!

Our family loved this spot! We were traveling with three young boys and the layout and the amenities of the apartment were perfect for our family. It was clean, well-equipped and a perfect location. We went across the street to the market every morning to get breakfast and then later in the afternoon for delicious tapas! Elizabeth, Jacob and their staff were very helpful and even were understanding about our late and ever-changing arrival time. I did have to wear earplugs as the vibrant location can be noisy, but my husband slept through it all.

Convenient and charming location

5 of 5

Our family (couple, and kids aged 15 and 12) enjoyed a lovely stay here. The El Born district is full of charm, wonderful energy and many places to shop, eat and explore. We found many great closeby restaurants, just by using the Tripadvisor City Guide App, which guides you from destination to destination. The apartment was was perfectly located for our daily exploration of Barcelona and outskirts, mostly by metro (very convenient walk to Jaume 1 station), and by foot. In fact, we took the bus/metro right from the airport, and had no problems at all, even though we were new to the city.
We felt totally safe in this neighborhood morning and night, as there are many locals and tourists around who are also exploring. The building is old, and because of that, there are no elevators, but it is good exercise to walk up the 2+ flights to the suite. The apartment is renovated, and resembles the photos very much, with a few mild changes in furniture. The beds were comfortable, the apartment was very clean, and well equipped. We did not cook in the suite, but we did use the dishes and fridge, and washer and dryer. The suite has excellent/speedy WiFi as well, which we all made use of (our kids were very pleased!). The only downside is that because it is close to a few popular restaurants and the Mercat de Santa Catarina, there is street noise into the early hours of the night, and that takes some getting used to if you are a light sleeper.
The owners Elizabeth and Jacob are gracious and hospitable. Emails from the time of booking till check in were answered promptly and graciously. Jacob met us at check in and was very thorough in providing us with an overview of the apartment, amenities and recommended some restaurants as well.
On our check out, I accidentally locked my cell phone in the suite and was quite panicked about this as we were leaving for the airport immediately and flying to another country. Elizabeth and Jacob were exceptionally helpful in finding my phone, and corresponding with us many times, in order to help courier the phone back to us in another country. I felt they went above the call of duty with their assistance, especially since we had already finished our stay there. I feel this further exemplifies their high level of service and graciousness as owners, which should be very reassuring when selecting a vacation property to rent.

A wonderful stay! The location of this apartment was ideal. Outside our door were a bounty of resturants, pastry shops, churches, and merchants of all kinds. The Picasso Museum is only steps away. The beauty of this apartment its authenticity. Just outside our door was the Mercat de Caterina, full of any type of food you could imagine. We visited this market at least daily and brought lunch/dinner back to the apartment. I cannot say enough about our hosts, Elizabeth, Jacob and Esther. Every e-mail was returned promptly in preparation of our trip. When the last snow strom hit we had to leave NYC a day early and they were totally accommodating to our needs. Most importantly our party of 6 felt completely safe in our apartment location and in all of Barcelona for that matter. Our vacation in this lovely city was wonderful. Staying in this perfeclty appointed authentic home completed the full experience.

Great Location

You couldn't ask for a better location to experience Barcelona! This being our first visit to this great city, we had a full agenda and only some general ideas of where everything we wanted to visit was. When we started to look up exact locations, it always seemed to be within a 10 minute walk...most within 5!

The apartment was a good size with everything you need to make your stay enjoyable.

Be sure to dine the Cuines Santa Caterina across the street...but get there early.

Owner's Response: Thank you very much Michael for your review. We are glad you liked the location of the apartment. We are always happy to welcome people who come to enjoy and discover this amazing city. Also, thank you for your recommendation of the restaurant! Even if the apartment is located right in the city center behind Santa Caterina market and it’s easy to find nice places to eat, we always appreciate the opinion from our guests which we share with the next guests. Thank you for everything and come back again!

The apartment is located in a great position in the old city close to major attractions. We were greeted by Esther who provided us with some tips on where to go and where to eat. We would start the day at the nearby market with breakfast at Bar Joan's before exploring this great city. We would would love to return to Barcelona in the not too distant future.
