The apartment can sleep six: 2 bedrooms with European King-sized beds, one with full bed, and a sofa bed for an additional adult guest or two small children. This flat is a classic possessing high ceilings, enormous windows, renovated hydraulic tile floors, but still offers access though a lift/elevator! The dining room and small adjunct living room are all filled with light from the enormous glass doors to the balconies that overlook Meditació down below... The apartment's location, the barrio of Eixample, is characterized by long straight streets, a strict grid pattern crossed by wide avenues, and square blocks with chamfered corners (named "illes" in Catalan, and "manzanas con chaflán" in Spanish). This was a visionary, pioneering design by Ildefons Cerdà, who considered traffic and transport along with sunlight and ventilation in coming up with his characteristic octagonal blocks, where the streets broaden at every intersection making for greater visibility, better ventilation and (today) some short-stay parking space. The grid pattern remains as a hallmark of Barcelona. The important needs of the inhabitants were incorporated into his plan, which called for markets, schools, hospitals every so many blocks. Today, most of the markets remain open in the spots they have been from the beginning. You will find something to suit every taste in this area, design and fashion shops, relaxing parks and a range of bars and cafes to have your morning coffee in. There are also a good number of restaurants, bars and discos for those looking for some of the nightlife Barcelona is so famous for. (World renowned TICKETS is a mere 10 minute walk- away!!!) In fact, there are so many tapas bars and restaurants in the vicinity of the apartment - and in Eixample in general- that you will find it hard to decide where to have your meal! Likewise, you will find it difficult to resist the temptation to stop and try out the pastries and breads at the local bakeries located around every corner of this city's most welcoming neighborhood... :-) Some parts of the Eixample were influenced by Modernist architects, chief among whom was Antoni Gaudí. His work in the Eixample includes the Casa Milà (nicknamed La Pedrera) and the Casa Batlló, both of which are on the wide Passeig de Gràcia, as well as the Sagrada Familia. The apartment's location, parallel to the main city thoroughfare of Gran Via and within a minute's walk of the metro line, allows you to be at all of Barcelona's famous landmarks within the blink of an eye. The Sagrada Familia Basílica is, for example, only seven minutes - five metro stops - away. And famous Paseo de Gracia, where Casa Batlló and La Pedrera are located, is in the same barrio of Eixample as our property. The Paseo and Gaudí houses are thus only a three minute - or three metro stops - ride away! Plus Plaza España, Fira Barcelona, the new commercial center Arenas de Barcelona, Montjuïc, and its 'Magic Fountain' are just a five minute walk - or one 1 minute metro - ride away! Even though the apartment is located near a busy street, all the bedrooms face the building's interior court, and the master bedroom is windowless, so you experience absolutely NO street noise when sleeping at night. \*\*\* We would like to inform you about a new policy implemented in December 2024 by the Spanish government that affects all bookings for our accommodation.

Jul 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A Perfect Barcelona Stay You could not ask for a better base from which to explore Barcelona than the Garcia family's lovely, authentic and comfortably well-equipped apartment in Eixample. The immediate neighborhood itself has everything you could need for a wonderful city experience: Restaurants, peaceful squares, grocery stores and markets, bakeries, etc are all abundant and close at hand. Further out, the museums and galleries of Montjuic in one direction, or the high-end shopping of Passeig de Gracia in the other, are walkable within a 30 minute step, along with all that lies between - or if you prefer the superb Metro to get around, there's a stop a block away, or you can easily hail a taxi on the nearby Gran Via. And then there was the wonderful hospitality: A warm personal welcome from Milena (organized via WhatsApp beforehand) set us up with all that we needed to know about the apartment and provided some specific local recommendations, augmented by the extensive list of local knowledge we had received from Miguel, as part of the excellent communication we had with all the details before the trip. We felt welcome, at home and so very comfortable here, and look forward to a repeat stay on our next trip to this wonderful city. Thank you to the Garcia family for a memorable time in Barcelona! ##### James K.

We were welcomed as we arrived, even given a guided walk around a local neighborhood.

It’s in a great location. Close enough to all the tourist spots, but far enough to not be in all the noise and chaos. The metro is right around the corner. There are great breakfast spots close by. Ugot, and Egg Lab were 2 of our favorites. There are also several grocery stores near by. Milena and Miguel are wonderful hosts and super attentive and proactive about communication. The air conditioning works great. We were there in the summer months when it was really hot, but we were very comfortable at the apartment. We would definitely stay here again. ##### Lizeth A.

Jun 23, 2016 #### As Adversited My family and I travel quite often and use VRBO locations frequently, this property was perfect for us. The communication with the owner and Milena was very easy, we even had several emails just prior to our stay with information about local restaurants (which to use and which to avoid). You are in a very safe neighborhood, very quite at night which was very important for me. The deck was wonderful, Metro is less than 50 meters away when you leave the building, and we used this every day because of its convenience and cost. Since you are on a main street there are several options to eat and a market to just two blocks away to stock up on groceries. The tour with Milena was wonderful, gave us great insight to the area and gave me a greater understanding of the layout of the city right off the bat. Take a map with you on the walk, the tour is not a 360 loop so when it concludes you will be in a perfect spot to begin learning the Metro to get back home..again don't be afraid to use it. Inside you will have everything you need, beds are very comfortable, kitchen is equipped properly. Furniture is all clean and up to date. One of the better places I have stayed over the years. Two items to improve only: Only three towels, so you are washing them more often. Could stock up on more toilet paper. But this is five stars for sure. Glenn USA ##### Glenn J.

Milena gave us a tour of the area around Palau Nacional and the Olympic Stadium on Montjuic. She was very knowledgeable and provided us with helpful information for our stay. The apartment is located in a very nice part of Barcelona and is steps away from the Rocafort Metro station. The Metro made it very easy to travel throughout the city. In Barcelona, visits to La Sagrada Familia and Casa Mila are a must, as is a walk down Las Ramblas. We also took the free Sandman walking tour which provided us with a nice orientation to Barcelona and its history. The La Merce festival took place during our stay and we watched 2 nights of fireworks from the terrace. If you have time, a visit to the Dali Museum in Figueres is worthwhile. The Dali Museum is an hour train ride from Barcelona (take the high speed train from Barcelona Sants to Figueres-Vilafont). Dining options abound in Barcelona. We had a great dinner at Bodega 1900 which is within walking distance. We also had an amazing and memorable dinner at Restaurant UMA. Restaurant UMA has 2 seatings at which 12 diners are served and you must book a couple of months in advance. Communication with Miguel and Milena was easy. The apartment is a great value. I highly recommend this apartment and upon return to Barcelona, we would definitely stay at the apartment again. ##### Vincent L. ### 8/10 Good #### Silke K. Jul 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy Unser Aufenthalt war gut. Die Wohnung lag etwas ausserhalb, die Mülltonnen vor der Türe und die Aussicht waren nicht optimal, aber ist halt Grossstadt. Die Pappe im Aufzug wissen wir nicht wofür diese war. Sah nicht schön aus. Aber die Wohnung war gut ausgestattet und die Betreuung der Gastgeber war sehr gut. Zu Fuss waren die Sehenswürdigkeiten und Strand nicht erreichbar, ein ÖV-Ticket ist empfehlenswert. Sonst waren Restaurants, Supermarkt, Café in der näheren Umgebung ##### Silke K.

It was a hot week in Barcelona and the apartment was a cool haven each afternoon and evening. The metro, restaurants, grocery stores, etc are all in the immediate neighborhood. Getting to the major tourist sites was easy, because the metro was a direct line. The apartment is a nice walk to Plaça de Catalunya and some touristy areas. We walked once and would have walked more if the heat had been better!Thank you Milena for your warm welcome and tips about the area. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it without any hesitation! ##### A W. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Catharina C.
