Carrer de la Marquesa, Barcelona

Very special apartment with original paintings on the walls, high ceilings, located on the ground floor, with access to a shared roof terrace with gorgeous views. 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. Wheelchair accessible. This is one of 3 apartments in the same building which stand out for being thoroughly original. It has a living/dining room with satellite-TV, stereo and WIFI internet. There are 2 bedrooms with twin beds which normally are prepared as double and there is a bathroom with a big shower which is wheelchair accessible. The modern, open-plan kitchen is well equipped and has a microwave, coffeemaker, toaster and electric kettle (but no oven). Another plus is the large roof terrace, which is shared with the other guests. In addition to the breathtaking views across the roofs and cupolas of the city all the way to the marina, the terrace is also a green haven with tons of plants, furnished with garden furniture, deck chairs and a shower - perfect for a quick, refreshing rinse on a hot day! There is also a shared washing machine on the terrace. The apartment is located right between the quarters of El Born and Barceloneta, the area next to the beach. El Born has been transformed in recent years to become one of the trendiest neighbourhoods of Barcelona. Just to the east of the Ramblas on the far side of Via Laietana, its warren of old streets are bursting with chic tapas and cocktail bars, candlelit restaurants and fashion boutiques. The centrepiece of El Born is the imposing Santa Maria del Mar church, which faces onto a beautiful square with wine and tapas bars. To the rear of the church is the area ́s main street, Paseo del Born, which is lined with cosy bars and restaurants spanning whole gamut of cuisines. The area borders the Gothic Quarter and the port, which are within a 15 minutes walk of the Cathedral and Las Ramblas. In the upper part of El Born is the unmissable Palau de la Musica, a stunning and ornate modernist concert hall designed by Catalan architect Domenech i Montaner. To the east of the Born is the Ciutadella Park and the Zoo. The apartment is located about 2 minutes from the metro stop Barceloneta and 1 minute from the beautiful old train station "Estació de França". The gothic quarter, las Ramblas, el Raval and the beach of Barceloneta can be reached on foot in a few minutes. This apartment cannot be rented on a daily basis and it is absolutely prohibited to subrent the flat.
