Centrally located and tastefully renovated where Barcelona's port meet the Old Town of Barcelona
This great one bedroom apartment can sleep up to 3 people and is a great choice for a couple or a small family visiting Barcelona. This newly renovated apartment with lots of warm colour makes the ideal setting for a great vacation in Barcelona. Modern and elegant, it is centrally located next to the old town of Barcelona, and not far from the Gothic Quarter.
The area surrounding the apartment:
This apartment is ideally situated between the old port of Barcelona or Port Vell and the gothic trendy area of El Born in Barcelon and the old port area at the bottom of Las Ramblas. With both the beach and downtown within easy walking distance this is a great apartment from which to plan out each day of your visit.. lots of shopping, harbourside seafood treats, movies by the sea along with bars, discos and a world famous - apparently Europe's biggest - aquarium have made this the perfect area for Barcelona's stopoff point to the Mediterranean.
Also an eight minutes' walk away guests are treated to the trendy gothic El Borne district with its wonderful example of gothic architecture in the magnificent church Santa Maria del Mar.
The apartment:
The apartment is on the first floor of a tastefully refurbished building with no elevator, and it has been completely reformed. Using lots of color lends a soothing feeling and makes the guest feel right at home from the moment they walk in...
The bedroom comes with a queen size bed and plenty of wardrobe space for the guests belongings. The 3rd guest can sleep on the comfortable double sofa bed in the living/dining room area, which has access to a small terrace.
The apartment has been equipped with everything you can think of, both in the kitchen, living area and bathrooms, to ensure your stay is a hassle free one: AC, heat, DVD, wi-fi to name but a few.
The kitchen and bathroom are both on a par with the rest of the apartment and do not disappoint.

Barceloneta
This old port area at the bottom of Las Ramblas was once a real eyesore with old factories and disused buildings, but has been transformed beyond recognition since the 1980’s. With lots to choose from, be it chic shopping, harbour side seafood treats, movies by the sea along with bars, discos and a world famous - and apparently Europe's biggest - aquarium have made this the perfect area for the visitor to Barcelona.
Thanks to the 1992 Olympics, Barcelona realised the enormous potential of its shoreline and beaches were quickly transformed from the “not so appealing” and filled with golden sand, imported palm trees, drainage systems, flood lighting and the promenades were landscaped. A main feature of these great beaches are the “beach bars” or chiringuitos that serve tasty snacks and play music….
Passeig Joan de Borbó is a restaurant lined boulevard where visitors can enjoy a tasty paella as they look on to the yacht marina, before or after lounging on Barceloneta beach. Behind this busy and elegant boulevard lies the real Barceloneta or “Little Barcelona”. Back in the early 1800’s these two storey houses became homes to fishermen and sailors but soon became so overcrowded that they were split in half and later quartered; these “quarts de casa” measured approx 30 m2. It is probably because of this overcrowded atmosphere that Barceloneta residents used to pile onto the streets to socialise, chat with neighbours, etc…It is for this reason that the area has maintained an exceptionally full street life with the district also being famous for its colourful local celebrations;
Plans for a new addition to this area include the tall sail-shaped hotel by Ricard Bofill, which no doubt will be an imposing sight once completed…
The Passeig Maritim esplanade is a common hangout for skaters, locals and visitors alike walking off the excesses of lunch…..
Barceloneta is a wonderful area, full of life, for the young and the old…..
