Architectural heritage, modern style. By The Fira
Ideally located for our guests to sample much of Barcelona's attractions, We are proud to offer our guests 3 identical apartments next to each-other in the same building. Avinguda Del Paral.lel stretches from the harbour to Placa D'Espanya, through the heart of the Old Town.
On one side of the Avenue lies the traditional, rustic maze of old narrow streets through to La Rambla (10 minutes walk),
and on the other side, the streets wind up through to Montjuic, the largest green area in Barcelona. From the Avenue there is a funicular connecting with the cable car up to the summit of
Montjuic - a must do, if only for the fabulous views over the city and the Mediterranean.
The apartments are high up in a beautifully restored apartment building with the luxury of a lift. The apartments have just been totally refurbished but the architect has retained many of the original features that ensure these apartments remain stunning examples of Barcelona's celebrated architectural heritage. As well as restoring original features such as the floor tiling the
architect has added modern features to the apartments
such as a well equipped modern kitchen with a hob and microwave. The apartment has a main bedroom with
a large double bed and access to a balcony. There is a
double sofa bed in the light and airy lounge which also looks out onto the balcony.The apartments have heating and air conditioning and so can be enjoyed throughout the year.
There is also a washing machine and dryer in the apartments.
There is wireless fast internet - you must have wireless capability on your laptop (there is no Ethernet connection).
Fira, Barcelona's premier historical exhibition centre is only a 5 minute stroll. The nearest Metro Station, Poble Sec,
is right outside the apartment providing immediate access to this stunning city.
All the accommodation in this building:
1111 Parallel # 1 (sleeps 4 in 2 beds)1113 Parallello (sleeps 4 in 2 beds)
...so in this building, subject to availability, we can accommodate a total of
8 people in a combination of
4 beds.
Comments from Guests that stayed at this Accommodation...
"The booking process was very user friendly, Checking in process very friendly and accomodated our early arrival
Apartment was as on website, very comfortable, clean and very good location (having Metro outside is very convenient)"
...Helena, Ireland, October 2007.
"We loved the apartment and the neighborhood. Perfectly located for our activities and close to the Old Town and Montjuic. The apartment was remarkably well equiped for a small place. My husband loved the high speed internet and I loved the bakery around the corner and the balcony. We walked everywhere. "
...Jeffrey, United States, September 2007.
"the apartment was good, airy and spacious. location was perfect for sight seeing and close to the tourist area but far away enough to get good quality cheaper meal and seat with locals. booking was easy enough , more than satisfactory"
...Nicol, United Kingdom, June 2007.
"We were delighted with the apartment and would have no hesitation in using your service in the future. Even though it was all done from Australia, using the internet, the whole process went smoothly. The documentation explained exactly what was involved and there were no 'surprises'."
...Patricia, Australia, August 2006.
"Yes, we did enjoy our stay .. very much. This has been a very good experience and we will highly recommend your rentals to all of our friends who travel and we will likely rent again the next time we travel. Your greeter, Martin, was very pleasant and helpful. The apartment was everything that was advertised .. there were no surprises. The location was great .. walking distance to the Gothic area, plenty of restaurants nearby and even an internet cafe 1 block away! This was the 1st time we rented an apartment instead of staying at a hotel and booking it on-line, sight unseen ... can be a disconcerting experience. But in this case it was great and we commend you folks for your honesty (in advertising) and your great accommodations.
We look forward to doing business in the future."

"The apartment was very good, clean and central to a lot of places we wanted to see. Martin, our greeter was very helpful and gave us lots of tips about where to go & how to get there in barcelona. We both were pleased with our apartment & would definitely recommend your website to friends & family, it was recommended to us by a friend who had booked with you earlier this year
"

"...we had a great time in Barcelona and the apartment exceeded our expectations. Our greeter Martin was very informative
and punctual. We are looking at possibly visiting Prague next year and will certainly try your new Loving prague website. Thanks again for an excellant product and all the best for the future"
...Mark, United Kingdom, March 2006.
"Loving Barcelona provided a fantastic standard of service from booking the accomodation to meeting us on arrival. Our greeter Martin was friendly but professional and the apartment was spotlessly clean as well as beautifully presented. I recommend Loving Barcelona to anyone who wants high quality self catering accomodation and I will most definitely use the site for future trips. Muchos Gracias!"
...Sarah, United Kingdom, September 2005.
"We had a fantastic time in Barcelona and look forward to returning. Our stay was made perfect by the excellent appartment and its location. When we do return I am sure we will use Loving Barcelona again.
"
...Joanne, United Kingdom, April 2005.
"Our stay was wonderful. The apartment is in a great location, so close to everything and with absolutely everything we needed. I can recommend taking the walk into the centre of town from this apartment - for the first few days I caught the metro, but one day I decided to stroll in - such a lively neighbourhood, so many patisseries and delis, and really very close - no need to travel under the ground! Thanks for everything.
