Located right off the world famous La Rambla this apartment is itself a work of art. Its location is also hard to beat with La Rambla at the end of the street and surrounded by a plethora of tapas bars, cafes restaurants and some of the best shopping in Europe!
This apartment is on the second floor of a traditional Bari Gotic building. There is a small lobby with space age silver blue walls and a stunning 200 year old antique Chinese carved door. From this lobby you enter the studio apartment.
Throughout the apartment there are beautiful exposed oak beams on the ceiling and rich wooden floors giving a touch of simple classic style - an eye-catching contrast to the finely patterned wall paper from the contemporary collection of a well known Barcelona designer adding a more ornate touch. The colours are simple but are carried off with flair. In the hallway there is a Barcelona modernist style mirrored cupboard, one of the many genuine artefacts in the apartment.
In the main space of the studio is a stunning wrought iron four poster double bed made up with sumptuous white bed linen. During the day this can be then used as a sofa with an ornate cover to throw over with Indian cushions. From here you can watch DVD's on the plasma screen TV, which add a modern touch to the eclectic mix of decor and furnishings. There is then access out through tall French doors to the terrace in the interior patio.
Open from the living area is a dining area with a drop leaf table and 2 Dutch dining chairs from the beginning of the last century.
The shower room is ultra modern with a large glass fronted shower and stainless steel sink, set into a wooden surround and w.c.
The kitchen is fully equipped with SMEG appliances including a fridge freezer, hob, microwave, kettle, toaster and coffee maker
The apartment is air conditioned and equipped with an iron, ironing board, hairdryer and has ADSL internet connection. It is an interior apartment so sheltered from any street noise but so only has views out onto the internal patio.
Located right on one of the three main shopping avenues in Barcelona this apartment is a great base for being immersed in art and shopping. A truly memorable setting for your stay in Buzzing Barcelona!

"We would just like to say, "thank you." the apartment was beautiful and when I Had a query at midnight and called you as I could not get in touch with the greeter, you were more than helpful. Jeff Rodriguez, our greeter, was fantastic. Although we arrived at 1am, he willingly gave us advice and handy hints about the area. The apartment and location were outstanding,
clean and more than sufficient for our needs. Our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer."

"WE REALLY ENJOYED STAYING IN OUR APARTMENT. ALTHOUGH IT WAS IN A VERY CENTRAL BUSY AREA, IT FELT REALLY SECLUDED AND WHEN WE HAD HAD ENOUGH OF THE CRAZINESS OF THE CITY, IT WAS GREAT TO HAVE SUCH A COMFORTABLE PLACE TO GO BACK TO. THE BED WAS FANTASTIC ALSO. IT MAKES A REALLY NICE CHANGE TO GO ON HOLIDAY AND FIND THE BED MORE COMFORTABLE THAN YOUR BED AT HOME. I WAS A BIT NERVOUS ABOUT CALLING OUR GREETER BEFOREHAND TO MAKE THE ARRANGEMENT TO MEET AT THE APARTMENT. AS I SPEAK VERY LITTLE SPANISH, FACE TO FACE CONVERSATIONS INVOLVED A LOT OF HAND AND FACE GESTURES. TALKING ON THE PHONE IS VERY DIFFICULT, BUT IT TURNED OUT OK AND JEFF SPOKE ENOUGH ENGLISH TO MAKE IT EASY TO MAKE THE ARRANGEMENT."
...Fiona, United Kingdom, September 2006.
"Apartment was in a wonderful location (just off Las Ramblas) and was very safe and quiet. I would recommend this apartment and Loving Barcelona to any of my friends or family. Thank you again for helping us have a wonderful stay in Barcelona.
