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 4 exterior balconies, living-dining room with 1 comfortable double sofa bed, two double bedrooms (one of them en suite), kitchen and 2 complete bathrooms with shower. Apartment is in 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). The apartment is completely exterior with four balconies that face the street, it is a 2nd floor with lots of natural light. In its rehabilitation, all the original architectural elements were respected. Public parking very close to the apartment (Avinguda 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.

My friends and I had an amazing time in Barcelona, accented by our accommodations which offered a peaceful, quiet and clean atmosphere after long days of walking, shopping, sight-seeing and dining! Great location and value!
Great place to stay in Gothic Quarter. Close to shops, restaurants and Cathedral of Barcelona. Neighborhood was quiet and safe. Easy walking to many things to do. Easy check in, electronic access. Clean apartment. Great communication.

Clean room and accommodating owners! Basically had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Within walking distance to so many places. Will definitely recommend to a friend!
The perfect location near everything in the Gothic quarter. Literally 10 steps from the front door. There was a bar open till 11 PM every night. Even Sundays! Everything was less than a 15 minute walk from us, including cathedrals, shops, metro, and museums. We will always check this listing for availability when coming to Barcelona in the future.

Thanks so much. I really appreciate your comment. I hope you come back to Barcelona.
The location was great for seeing the city. Central to all parts of the city. The listing indicated a king bed, it was a queen on a king platform, very disappointing. The drains in the showers need to be cleaned to allow water to flow out and the platform around the shower base was very slippery. The safes were not useable. The second floor requires going up 5 flights. Appreciate maintaining the existing architecture but very difficult to navigate the steep and uneven steps especially with luggage. The request to keep the noise down after 10 was funny because the noise from the street throughout the night (certainly not controllable by the landlord) made sleeping very difficult. We enjoyed our stay but it had its challenges.

Thank you for your feedback. Our intention is always to improve, and we welcome complaints about things that haven't worked well, but I'd like to elaborate on them. The bed in the suite is 1.60 meters wide on a base of the same size; by European standard sizes, it's a large bed. The safe had dead batteries, which have now been replaced. We check the drains after each guest change, but they may occasionally drain more slowly than ideal. In any case, we have a 24-hour maintenance service to fix any unexpected malfunctions; if you had been aware of them, we would have resolved the issue within a few hours. The entrance stairs are narrow because it's a restored building in the Gothic Quarter, and the noise at certain times is a characteristic of the neighborhood that we can't control, but we understand that it's also part of the charm of staying and living there.

What a great place in a fantastic location. The unit was clean, good layout, had AC, Wifi and Fans in bedrooms. Bathroom were large, modern and super clean. The digital locks were great as you didnt have to worry about a key at anytime.

Our family of four had an amazing stay in Barcelona! The location of this property was perfect! A short walk to Las Ramblas, and around the corner from the Cathedral of Barcelona!We couldn’t have been happier with the property and the terrific communication from the team! We would definitely stay here again!

The Spain apartment in the Gothic District was sexually located to everything you needed to be near in Spain to see or do! The owners had many conveniences for us and the location was exceptional

We had a great stay and enjoyed the apartment. It can get noisy at night, especially during holidays, but was well worth it to be able to access so many great destinations, shops, and attractions easily. Would definitely recommend it!

We had a great time here. It was warm, cozy, and the perfect hideaway after big busy days exploring Barcelona. Only on one night was the noise from people partying outside disruptive, otherwise it was quite quiet. The location cant be beat!

We enjoyed the location and the information in the listing was an accurate and most review comments should be believed. We were there during Merce 24 festival, and street noise from the events could be loud as crowds dispersed, but proximity to venues was great. Would stay again
