This stylishly designed Barcelona apartment is extremely quiet for its central location on Paseo de Gracia, as it is to the back of the building with no other constructions to obstruct the light coming through the large windows. The refurbished building in the very heart of Barcelona's city center has two fully renovated elevators to take you from the large and spacious entrance to the fourth floor where the apartment is located. With the best shops of Barcelona, 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. A holiday stay at this convenient accommodation will make your adventures around Barcelona easy to plan.

The area surrounding the apartment:

The Monet I apartment is located right in the middle of Barcelona city only 50 yards from Plaça Catalunya and 100 to Las Ramblas, making it accessible to all areas of interest such as the Gothic Quarter, and the very trendy El Borne. A short walk from the apartment you will find the superb food and produce market called La Boqueria on Las Ramblas, an absolute must for any visitor to Barcelona. The apartment offers a quiet reprive from the bustling and very busy Las Ramblas but is close enough for guests to walk two, three minutes to where all the action is.

Walk out the front door of the apartment building and you have a shopping experience just waiting to happen all around you. Paseo de Gracia alone will keep you busy for hours. Walk to Portal d'Angel about one minute from your front door and continue down to Portaferrisa where there are more stores for you to explore. A short five minutes' walk will take you into El Borne, 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. Another option for the visitor staying at this great Barcelona apartment is to visit the Gothic quarter situated right in the heart of the old town, about two minutes from your front door. This is the area that fell within the medieval walls and until 150 years ago made up the entire city of Barcelona. The area is a body of interconnecting narrow and cobble stoned streets where you can potter around for hours and explore the shops and restaurants. Las Ramblas is another must for the visitor in Barcelona: a two minutes' stroll from your front door. Here you will be amused and entertained by all the street acts as you make your way down to the food market and the sea.

As you can see, should you choose to stay at the Monet I apartment during your visit to Barcelona, you will literally find yourself in the heart of Barcelona's Ciutat Vella.
