The Gothic District passes between the two most important avenues of the old city, Via Layetana and Las Ramblas, and between the Catalonia square. And the sea, just ten minutes walking distance from the apartment, very pleasant promenade through the harbour.

This District constitutes the heart of the old city of Barcelona where the walled Roman city was located (the origin of present Barcelona).

Also, the fantastic modernist style Cafe de la Opera is close to the apartment. You can enjoy breakfast or some tapas. Good quality price value for money (I was born in Barcelona and lived here for more than 30 years, I know what I am talking about ;)

The Ramblas is a street full of energy, colored flower stands and lots of day and night life.

Five minutes walking distance through the flower stands you can find the Boqueria market (listed among the best markets in the world). You can do grocery shopping (avoid the middle pricey stands ;) and you can buy nice fresh bread to go with your freshly brewed coffee.

Opposite the apartment there is a metro station (Metro Liceu) and buses (14 and 59) that will take you to the Olimpic Village or the beach area or Barceloneta, the fisherman's neighbourhood in less than 15 minutes to enjoy some paella. Public transport is available to take you conveniently to all areas of Barcelona.

The apartment is antique, beautifully decorated in a vintage style, with art noveau lamps.

About The Owner

I am a Barcelona local who loves her city and is happy to share any recommendations and experiences that will help you enjoy Barcelona from local point of view, not intoxicated by tourists.

The Owner purchased this apartment in 2000
Why The Owner chose Ciutat Vella

Is a beautiful lively area in the center of the city. You will have a vintage experience, living in an apartment with curiosities and antique building and deco. Where ladies in the 19th century tried out their outfits, since it was once used as a tailor for the Opera House.

What makes this apartment unique

Enjoy the vibrant center of Barcelona and shopping and the Gotic quarter and the Cathedral are just around the cornder. Super central location, after long hours of walking, you enjoy a quick rest & stop at your apartment, for a quick break, for a snack and then you can go back to your tourist race. Grocery shopping in the Boqueria market and close by supermarkets, you can store some food at home and avoid spending extra money on overpriced touristic food.

A Good Place to Stay

5 of 5
Submitted: May 3, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
The apartment is pristine and clean but has a lived in feel to it - that was a good quality as, even though this was our first time in Barcelona, it felt like arriving home rather than to a sterile and impersonal place. The apartment is comfortable; it is also light as it has plenty of windows - looking towards gardens on one side and engaging street life on the other. There were four of us, using all three bedrooms, and the space in the apartment was such that there was no feeling of living on top of each other. We chose to eat in quite a lot because there was a good kitchen and a lovely space to eat in the drawing/dining room; also there is a beautiful market so near by that eating delicious food at home while relaxing and talking felt preferable to most restaurants.
We were met and greeted by Elisenda who was charming and helpful with advice and any questions we had.
I would recommend this apartment to anyone staying in Barcelona. It is located so centrally that a visitor can walk and explore without difficuly.
We have very happy memories of Barcelona and the apartment and hope to return soon.

Hi, stayed here for a long time, it was so perfect, being so central to all amenities inc the Metro subway station right outside.
Perfect for slow mornings with coffee on the balcony looking at the street theater performers & others strolling up La Rambla.

Highly reccomend it

An oasis in the heart of Barcelona

5 of 5
Submitted: May 1, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
My teenage daughter and I had a fantastic time at this apartment. The location is superb, right on La Ramblas and directly opposite the Opera House and we enjoyed seeing and hearing the street life below from the balcony. The metro stop is minutes away so it was really convenient for travelling around the city. Even better, the Gothic quarter with all the beautiful cobbled streets and amazing historic architecture was right on the doorstep. In fact, we walked or cycled everywhere and got such a feel for the real Barcelona.
The apartment is amazing, kind of vintage chic with lovely antique pieces scattered throughout. I particularly loved the glass doors with the insignia of the Opera House, as it was was originally the workshop of the opera tailor. Two of the bedrooms are huge, the one at the back looks onto a beautiful small park, the other two are situated at the front of the apartment, but they have fitted double glazing on the front windows so there is no disturbance from street noise.
It's a really comfortable space to relax in, the beds are great, there is generous space for clothes and personal belongings, good lighting and the wifi was a very nice touch. It is also well maintained and very clean. So much better value than a hotel! And infinitely more charming!
I felt we got a taste of the real Barcelona staying here. It was fantastic, great value and I have no reservations whatsoever about recommending it highly to others.

Bonita Barcelona!

5 of 5
Submitted: January 25, 2013 Stayed: January 2013
My family of 4 - 2 parents, girl aged 15 and boy aged 11 - had the good fortune to discover this incredibly charming apartment on the VRBO website while planning our overseas trip from Australia to Europe for the start of January 2013. All our communications via email were dealt with promptly by the very capable and lovely Elisenda. When we discovered that our overnight train from Paris would deliver us earlier than regular check- in Elisenda was very understanding and accommodating.
The apartment is just gorgeous with so much character and charm revealing its history as a tailor's work and showroom . We all fell madly in love with it! How to describe it? I guess I would call it shabby chic Spanish style! Old and quirky,yes but immaculately clean and in a brilliant location. The double glazing in one of the front bedrooms and the living room kept the street noise out, our son had the other front bedroom which doesn't have double glazing so had a bit of street noise but nothing that bothered him it just added to the personality of the location. Everything including the all important heating worked well.
Having the Liceu metro stop so close was very convenient when exploring further afield and being just 'round the corner from the Barri Gotic there was no end of dining options . It was such a great location for just wandering aimlessly and marvelling at the divine architecture and popping in and out of all the great shops! The lower part of the Ramblas can be a little seedy but I felt very comfortable with our location even with children as it's just that little bit further away from some of the less savoury carry on.
Elisenda is a real treasure with lots of helpful advice and information to impart - lots of useful guides,metro maps etc. are in the apartment . She even made coffee for our arrival and insisted on helping us up the stairs with our embarrassingly large amount of luggage!
For a taste of the true Barcelona in a very vibrant spot - this is no suburban hideaway! - I would thoroughly recommend this apartment. Sadly we only had 4 days here but we hope to return for longer in the future! Thanks again Elisenda.

Our Barcelona Home

5 of 5
Submitted: January 12, 2013 Stayed: December 2012
Our family of four with two grown children spent our holidays in Barcelona in this lovely, spacious, well-appointed apartment on La Rambla. With La Boqueria a block away and a Metro stop across the street, it was easy to stay in the area and enjoy Barcelona close to home or use it as a launching spot for a day of touring. Sometimes it was difficult to leave the apartment, which has a great view overlooking the busy Rambla in front and a lovely park in back. Wandering the streets of Barri Gotic around the cathedral was a favorite thing to do, and there are many restaurants in the area that are worth visiting. Pinotxo in La Boqueria was great, as was a nearby tapas place, Irati. The photos Elisenda provides are very accurate and the property is very clean and well-maintained. She could not have been more helpful and forthcoming with advice for our trip and made herself available to us during our stay. There was noise from the street and from some of the other tenants in the building, but it was not enough of an issue that it would have caused us to choose another location. And the night my son arrived to meet us, tired from his trip, one of the other tenants kindly brought him to our door in the most gracious manner. We felt very safe and at home in this place and were sorry to leave.
