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.

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.
Apartment was perfect for our family - fantastic location - plenty of room - great mini balconies with full size opening doors that also have separate opening window doors - great kitchen - would definitely recommend.
Apartment was in a great location., it was clean ,very comfortable and the beds were really comfortable. It had air conditioning and heat which is unusual. I would stay there again.
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.
Only downside is having to go up 5 flights of stairs. But overall it was very clean, just like the pictures. You can't beat the location.

The apartment was very nice with character. Perfect location in Gothic Quarter. Close to countless restaurants and bakeries. Markets also close by. Negative is the many stairs and narrow stair well.
Cute clean apartment in a centrally located area. Walking distance to many attractions in Barcelona. 4th floor with narrow hallways to get to the unit. Check in and check out was easy.
This rental worked out beautifully for our stay in Barcelona. The location was perfect. Right in the middle of everything so we could walk everywhere. Apartment was clean and beds were comfortable. Kitchen was stocked so we could make simple meals for our family. Lots of stairs, but not a problem for our group. Would definitely recommend a stay here if you can handle the 75 steps up.
The apartment was wonderful!!! Our family of 4 spent 3 days touring all over Barcelona. It is located in fantastic area, easy to walk all around the Gothic Quarter, close to Las Ramblas and the marina. The host greeted us and we had no problems checking in. They even arranged transportation from the airport for us.
As noted in previous reviews, there are A LOT of steps up to the apartment. It wasn’t much of an issue for us (except with luggage) but please be aware.
The apartment was in a perfect location for a few days of exploring Barcelona. Easy to get around everywhere and the management company was very helpful.
The spacious living room is great, though the cot bed in the smaller bedroom was quite uncomfortable.
The check in process wasn’t ideal, with the team member meeting us showing up over an hour past our set meeting time with no communication to us that this would be the case.
Other than that, we had no issues with the apartment or making arrangements.

Excellent location in gothic sector. No need for car rental. Right in the middle of the section. fabulous, well equipped & clean appartment, but description fails to mention a few things… the lack of washroom intimacy (gap in door), the ridiculous amount of floors you need to climb to get to your level (no elevator) and the lengthy process you need to go through to get your keys.
Well located and tidy apartment in the Gothic quarter. The entry process was straightforward using an app on your smartphone to access an inconspicuous industrial looking door upon opening, you are confronted by a narrow stairwell up five flights to the apartment; be warned, it’s a struggle with suitcases!Although the city was sweltering, the aircon in the apartment was effective except for the second bedroom which stayed quite hot. There was no washing solution or powder that we could find which would have been a nice touch and most properties we’ve stayed at have had inclusions such as washing powder as well as decent tea and coffee so this was a bit of a shame. Overall four stars and unless you have mobility issues or don’t fancy lugging bags up a narrow stairwell then I would recommend the apartment. A word of caution if you check out early in the morning: there are some dodgy types who loiter about waiting for tourists with bags so I would suggest taking care in the early hours.
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.
The space was great, easy entry, his communication, clean accommodations, great location. One minor issue is that we had trouble with some of the lights not working.
Cozy, clean, and interior looked even nicer than the photos. Beds were comfy. Stairs were steep, ok to climb, but bringing up the luggage was a challenge.

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.
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.
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.
