Description
A spacious luxury apartment located within a five-minute walk of Plaza Catalunya and Las Ramblas. This apartment is located on the first floor of a beautiful old building (1899) in one of the best areas of Barcelona (only minutes away from Paseo de Gracia). The apartment has recently been completely refurbished while retaining all the original features which make it so special. Beautiful original floors, 4.2 metre high ceilings and other period features have been combined with modern conveniences to create a truly special ambiance. This 110m2 apartment sleeps a maximum of five people and is laid out as two suites, each containing a double bedroom and a living room (one of which contains a double sofa bed). The suites share a bathroom (bathtub/shower, sink, bidet and washing machine), dressing room (3 wardrobes and 2 clothes racks) and a fully equipped kitchen-cum-dining room (dishwasher, fridge, oven, hob, and extractor fan, extendable dining table). In addition this apartment boasts a garden, a rare luxury in Barcelona! This quiet city oasis, featuring a large mature lemon tree, has a sitting and dining area. Other features of this apartment include: air conditioning/heating, a flat screen TV and DVD/music system in one of the sitting rooms, while the other sitting room contains a music system and a library of books. There is also a small working area. There is a public and supervised car park ten minutes walk from the flat, which costs 15 to 20 euros a day.
The apartment is situated in the Eixample-area. It can be said that the district of the Eixample (or “El Ensanche”, like this district is called in Spanish) is the centre of Barcelona, because of its geographic location and for being the most important business, economical and shopping district of Barcelona. The Passeig de Gràcia, which starts at Plaça Catalunya, is the most elegant avenue of Barcelona, where almost every great designer has its own store, such as Gucci, Armani, Hugo Boss, etc. Furthermore, the street houses some of Antoni Gaudí´s masterpieces, like La Pedrera (also known as Casa Milà) and Casa Battló. The Eixample, sometimes also referred to as the Gold Square (Cuadrado de Oro) contains the greatest amount of modernist buildings of the city of Barcelona. The Eixample district is divided in two, the Eixample Dreta (right side – containing Gaudí´s renowned Sagrada Família and la Pedrera) and Eixample Esquerra (left side – connecting the Eixample area with the Sants-district), taking the Passeig de Gracia as the border line between the two zones.
