A holiday stay at this convenient accommodation will make your adventures around Barcelona easy to plan.
The area surrounding the apartment:
This wonderful, luxury apartment is a short walk away from Paseo de Gracia, one of Barcelona's grander avenue-like streets, that starts at Plaza Cataluña and continues till it meets with la Diagonal.
This location will allow the guest to step out of the apartment building and in less than 3 minutes, be in the center of Plaza Cataluña; off of this Plaza the guest will find Las Ramblas, with all the colourful street performers and the wonderful Boqueria market, an absolute must for any visitor to Barcelona...
From the apartment a short 5 minute walk will have you in the heart of the Gothic Quarter and el Born; this very trendy area is one of Barcelona's oldest neighbourhoods. An intricate maze of plaças and squares all interconnected by narrow, medieval streets where you will find lots of trendy boutiques and great bars, cafés and restaurants. This is the area that fell within the medieval walls and, until 150 years ago, made up the entire city of Barcelona.
With bars, clubs and hundreds of restaurants right on the doorstep of the apartment, you do not need to go far to enjoy all that the old town of Barcelona has to offer.

This area is flooded with light and leads out onto the terrace of 40m2 which has wonderful views over the city including the Sagrada Familia, the Torre Agbar and even of the sea.
Leading off the living area, you will find a modern and fully equipped kitchen with everything that you would need to make your stay hassle free including coffee maker, juicer, toaster, washing machine, etc.
The apartment has 3 bedrooms. The master bedroom has french windows leading out onto the terrace. This bedroom has a comfortable double bed, ample wardrobe space for your belongings, a flat screen tv and a full en-suite bathroom including bath/shower unit. The second bedroom also has a double bed and wardrobe space. The third bedroom has a single bed and due to the work table, can be used as a small office for those coming to Barcelona on Business.

Plaza Cataluña/Paseo de Gracia
Plaza Cataluña
Catalonia Square is the largest square in the centre with 30.000 meters square it is the third biggest square in Spain. Some of the most important streets and Avenue interconnects with this important square, famous for its fountain, and statues. Until almost half of 19th century the Plaça de Catalunya was mainly a rural zone located outside the city walls.
It was only in 1858 that the Madrid's central government finally ordered the defensive walls to be torn down., approving also the construction outside the walls so a public contest was organized in search of a design of a new district. The first place was awarded to a design by Rovira i Trias but the head government ended up choosing a far more modern design with a grid plan by Ildefons Cerdà.
Eventually the local and head government agreed add a new plan. A design by the architect Puig i Cadafalch (author of the modernist building 'Casa de les Punxes') resulted in the current enormous square, created between 1925 and 1927.
Nowadays it is also a main interconnecting point, where transport is widely available, such as metro, buses, taxis, etc. And it is there that the airport bus and the touristic double decker bus have its last and first stop at Plaza Catalunya, right opposite to the famous department store, El Corte Inglés.
Passeo de Gracia
One of the most famous Avenues in Barcelona and it is a 1.50 kilometers stroll to Plaza Catalunya and Las Ramblas, Passeig de Gracia is the street that has the most designer shops per meter square in the whole of Barcelona. From this location, other zones of interest such as the Gothic Quarter, and the very trendy El Borne are just a stone's thrown away.
Visitors staying at this area will find the superb food and produce market called La Boqueria on Las Ramblas, an absolute must for any visitor to Barcelona and will be able to stroll along the very up market Passeig de Gracia with its designer shops and some of Gaudí's most emblematic buildings such as Casa Battló and La Pedrera which have been listed as Human Heritage buildings by the Unesco. This popular Avenue is the closest to The Champs Elysés in Paris, right here is the vibrant capital of Catalonia. The first urbanistic proyect that gave life to this amazing avenue begun back in 1821 by the famous architect Ramon Plana.
Guests are expected to have a shopping experience just waiting to happen all around you. Paseo de Gracia alone will keep you busy for hours.

Everything in the apartment was great! But mostly, I liked the terrace and the view. The location of the building was also great. Besides, the very friendly and nice welcome we found when we reached made us even feel more relaxed and comfortable. If I ever planned to come again to Barcelona, I would definitely book this apartment again.
There isn't anything that I didn'd like. It was the (apartment of my dream.

L'appartement est clair et moderne (conforme aux photos). Il a une très jolie vue sur la Sagrada Familia au loin ainsi que la Torre Agbar (illuminée le soir). Il est idéalement placé pour visiter Barcelone à pied (les Ramblas, la cathédrale, le musée de la musique) ou bien en métro (station au pied de l'immeuble et proximité immédiate de la place de Catalogne, véritable noeud de communication). L'internet fonctionne parfaitement. La literie est de qualité.

L'emplacement privilégié de l'appartement, tout est portée de marche, la tranquilité des lieux, la présence de trois chambres, les deux salles de bains, l'accueil de Fabio et Marcel, la terrasse, les équipements propres et modernes, le WiFi, l'ascenseur et de nombreux autres avantages. L'offre faite par Marcel de réduction de 10 % des fais à cause des travaux voisins à l'appartement a aussi été appréciée, bien que le bruit ne nous ait pas beaucoup dérangé.

We stayed in the apartment in late May 2010 and had a great time. The host made it extremely easy to check in and the apartment itself is amazing. The photos do not do the apartment justice. The balcony has great views and the living spaces are extremely well furnished. We were 4 adults sharing the apartment and it never felt cramped. The location is also fantastic. It is less than a 1/2 block to the subway and cabs were extremely easy to catch just outside the front door. The apartment made us wish we had more than 4 nights for Barcelona - it was very hard to leave.

I stayed at the Mahler Attic Apartment in Barcelona in January of 2010 with my aunt, uncle and adult friend. We were promptly greeted by Marcel who gave us a tour and helpful hints about the apartment. Pedro the doorman is very helpful and a truly delightful person, he made our stay quite welcoming. We also met a nice elderly lady named Conchita who lives on the first floor who told us to see her if we needed anything! As the apartment is a three bedroom two bath unit, the accommodations were perfect. The elevator was a must as there were elderly people in our group. Additionally, the location could not be better as it is in a safe neighborhood within walking distance to most sights. The metro stop is just a few steps away from the front door and taxis came by frequently, so transportation was easy. The apartment is a delight to be in, it is well furnished and it comes with everything you might need to make your stay comfortable. There is a nice diner right next to the building and several grocery stores nearby. We cooked our own meals many times, used the clothes washer and the enjoyed the outdoor patio. It was so much nicer and more welcoming than any hotel stay. The keys are somewhat tricky. We struggled to remove the building key from the front door, but learned from another resident that the key has to be flat to remove it. Also, the apartment door you must turn the key to the left and pull the door slightly to get it to open. Once we figured this out, it was smooth! Check out with Marcel was easy and Pedro even told us we were "exceptional people" and gave us a parting gift of some Cava. I would rent this apartment again if I should ever return to Barcelona!

We loved the Mahler apartment.Especially the location which was very central..... and the roof terrace which was not only attractive with all the plants and flowers but was ideal in the early morning and in the evening. The apartment was clean, nicely decorated and well furnished and Marcel was extremely helpful and charming. We would definately stay here again and recommend this apartment to our friends. The staff at Friendly Rentals were not only helpful and service minded but also spoke exellent english. Thank you once again for making our trip so memorable and Barcelona is a wonderful city so I hope we will be able to visit again in the future.
