Overview

After renovating, this apartment has been transformed into a perfect blend of old historical elements and modern design: exposed brick and plastered walls, red floor tiles and vast wooden beams on the ceiling expose some of the original elements used in the construction of this residential building.

The uniquely designed duplex unit of 65m2 (485 Sq. ft.) is divided into 2 levels with the bedroom upstairs with access to a private terrace and a living area downstairs where a kitchen unit breaks up the area into different zones; a dining area right next to the open kitchen and a lounge area with a sofa that is convertible into a single bed. The separate bathroom is comfortable and well distributed with a lavatory, shower and sink.

This centrally located apartment is on the 4th floor on the exterior side of a building with its windows facing a quiet street.

The terrace with plants, hammock, bench and puffs is accessible from the bedroom.

- a sleeping area with a queensize double bed

The Area:

Just around the corner of Placa Catalunya, Barcelona's central square at the north end of La Rambla, between one of the city's main shopping streets Portal del Angels and Via Laietana, you will encounter the quiet, pedestrian street with the apartment. The apartment is as centrally located as one can wish for in the Medieval part of town, called Barri Gotic or Barrio Gotico (in Castilian). Barri Gotic is the oldest part of the city and is the settling site chosen by the Romans during the Augustus Empire (27 to 14 B.C.). It is a dense are with numerous winding streets full of historic and artistic landmarks. Las Ramblas with its street vendors, living statues, bird sellers and flower stalls is very close by, just as the Pla�a reial with its bars and restaurants and the fresh market �La Boqueria�.

Northeast of the famous Las Ramblas promenade, the Passeig de Gracia offers an abundance of upscale fashion shops and department stores and this is where one encounters the most famous Gaudi buildings La Pedrera and Casa Battlo. The apartment is in a very central, yet quiet location, making it an ideal base to explore the city.

Close to the apartment, you will find:
- Placa Catalunya with the Corte Ingles department store; literally around the corner
- Las Ramblas and La Boqueria, the famous food market, on a minutes walking distance
- The Modernista theatre and concert hall Palau de la Musica and the Liceu opera house
- the Cathedral
- the Placa Reial square with several clubs and bars
- the picturesque Placa del Pi square with a frequent farmers market
- lots of nice restaurants, (tapas)bars and cafes
- shopping avenue Paseig de Gracia, which features several of Gaudi's most famous works of architecture
- several public parking areas
- an internet cafe, right off Placa Catalunya
- the central subway, train and bus stop Placa Catalunya
