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 3nd 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.

Amazing location. We were pleased with the beds and overall cleanliness of the place. Only downfall was the stairs but to be expected with older buildings.
Great location and helpful host for 3 day Barcelona trip.
Great location in Gothic Q. Convenient to food, transport and food meals.

Super clean, convenient location, there were lots of stairs to the 3rd floor but other than that I would recommend this place to anyone who is able to climb a few flights of stairs!

It was a great location in the heart of the old city. The apartment was very clean and comfortable. It had AC and plenty of room for a family of 4 (2 adults, 2 young children). There is no elevator and it is on the 3rd floor so be prepared to haul your luggage up the stairs, but this is par the course when traveling sometimes! Otherwise it was a great stay and everything was as depicted/promised.

Excellent location, walkable to amazing restaurants. Clean, bright, quiet
Had a fantastic stay for 5 nights, right in the middle of so much. Apartment was clean and just perfect for the 3 of us. For those who might have an issue, there are many stairs up and down. Would recommend wholeheartedly for a trip to Barcelona!

Perfect location in the El Gotic neighborhood. A short work to the Cathedral. The apartment worked great for a family of 5.

Our middle son was spending the semester in Barcelona and we joined for a few days. This was a great location and lovely little apartment. I would note that this is a third floor walkup and the stairs are steep/narrow. If you have a lot of luggage or a bad knee, might look for an apartment on lower floor. Beds were great, shower pressure was great, A/C worked well as did the wifi.

Excellent location, property was clean and well maintained.
Apartment is in an old building, but everything was upto date and well maintained. Host was there to greet us and answer our questions. The apartment was perfectly located close to shop and easy access to explore the city.

Great location- honestly steps from world class shopping and amazing restaurants- but tucked away on a quiet street. Super charming area- local bodegas and play grounds for kiddos- it has everything. Moments from the cathedral. The apartment is straight forward and clean. Perfect for a quick stay.

Stayed two nights prior to cruise. Apartment clean and roomy. The steps were steep and narrow up to 3rd floor, but worth it for the open air balconies. Short walking distance to shops, restaurants, attractions and metro. Pillows and linens could be improved for comfort. Would stay again!
