Our building has a concierge who will open the apartment door for guests upon arrival. In order for our guests to find their way around the apartment, I have created a video check-in procedure. After a reservation has been made, I will send a link to a video showing instructions. Once guests have checked in, I will call the phone in the apartment to answer possible questions. Request discounts for longer stays. The Paseo de Gracia B apartment is a 90sqm high-quality rental and one of five properties we manage in this exclusive building. It is located right on this gorgeous and the city's wealthiest avenue. Here on Passeig de Gracia is where all the famous designer brands have their stores. Plaça de Catalunya (the main square in Barcelona and center core of the city), as well as the Gothic Quarter and Las Ramblas, are only a stone throw away from the apartment. Famous sights such as Gaudi’s La Pedrera (Casa Mila) or Casa Battló are just a few meters up the street. The location is as central as it is exclusive. The building itself counts as one of the most beautiful ones in this area. It has been constructed in the year 1890\. Next to other features, the beautiful marble entrance has been conserved and maintained and captivates every visitor. The living room of this apartment is spacious, faces Passeig de Gracia, and even has a balcony from where the visitor can overview the avenue down to Placa de Catalunya. Further on the living room is equipped with two comfortable sofas, a big flat-screen TV and a DVD player. One of the two sofas converts in one easy movement into a comfortable double bed. Also in the living room, there is a desk with a chair which comes in handy in case some work needs to be done. The two bedrooms are situated on both opposite ends of the apartment. The master suite has a queen-sized canopy bed and a large cupboard. The guests have access to the balcony with views of the Paseo de Gracia. The ensuite bathroom, with a jacuzzi-style tub and shower, also comes with double sinks, WC and bidet. The second bedroom offers a twin-sized trundle bed (see pictures) and a spacious cupboard. The bedroom can be used as a single room or when pulling out the second bed as a twin room. Right next to this bedroom is the second bathroom which is accessible from the long hallway. Next to the living room is the dining area with space for up to 6 persons. The kitchen which one accesses from the long hallway next to the dining area is fully equipped with everything one would require to prepare and enjoy a meal in the apartment. Further on at the guest’s disposal are fridge, freezer, oven, stove, washer, dryer, dishwasher, toaster, coffee maker, kettle as well as an iron and an iron board. In general: The apartment and the area are safe. The building has a doorman as well as security cameras in the entrance area. The entrance door of the building, as well as the apartment door are equipped with security locks. There is also a safety box installed in the apartment. The Area surrounding the Apartment; The guest staying at the Passeig de Gracia B apartment will be assured easy access to this lively Mediterranean city and will find that this apartment is a great spot from which to map out daily jaunts and from which to explore all that this fantastic city has to offer. Most of Barcelona’s famous spots of interest such as Gaudi’s La Pedrera, the Picasso museum, the Cathedral, Las Ramblas with the well known Boqueria fresh food market, the old town with the gothic quarter and El Borne as well as the harbor are reachable within a few minutes walking (no transportation needed). If public transportation is needed for example to visit Gaudi’s Park Guell or Sagrada Familia (the symbol of the city), there would be a metro station literally right in front of the building’s entrance with access to 3 lines (L2, L3, and L4). The L4 (yellow line) would bring guests also to the beaches Barceloneta, Port Olimpic/ Ciutadella, and Poble Nou. The line L3 (green line) would bring the guest for example to Barca’s impressive football stadium CAMP NOU. The underground metro in Barcelona is cheap and fast. There would also be the option to take a taxi which in Barcelona is also cheaper than in most western European cities. Taxis are circulating in this area 24h. There is a taxi stop right at the next street corner (15 meters from the apartment). To get to the beach by taxi from the apartment would take about 10 minutes (depending on the traffic) and would not cost more than 7,- Euros. During the check-in procedure our guests will receive detailed explanations about everything that is useful and important to know when visiting this great city. We have a selection of restaurant and tapas bar recommendations prepared and will advise where to find the next grocery store, about shop opening hours, etc.. Please feel free to ask questions already when inquiring about the apartment. Our other apartments in this building: Paseo de Gracia C: listing 1050347 (3 bedrooms/ 2 bathrooms/ max. 7 pers.)

It is truly a nice place to stay. The location is just perfect for visiting Barcelona. Proximity to restaurants, grocery stores, shopping and the Metro could not be better. Marcel is a superb host and communicates with his guests very well. The check-in is very comprehensive and he provides lots of detail for you to become very acquainted with the apartment and area. We rent several times every year in Spain and this was our best experience over the last nine years. We will return. Enjoy your stay. ##### James W. ### 6/10 Okay #### Lindsay B. 16 Jun 2019 #### GREAT LOCATION BUT NOISY This Apartment is in a great location in Passig de Gracia, a ten min walk to El Corte Inglis where we could buy all our food & drink. This apartment had two bathrooms, the second bathroom had a walk-in shower, which was convenient. The kitchen had been recently renovated & was very nice. The two couches in the lounge room were very uncomfortable & dirty because they could be made into extra beds – they certainly needed an up-grade. The down side of this apartment was that the Queen bed sheet had a dirty pink mark on it, not enough plastic bags for rubbish, floor in bathroom had many dirty marks on it, very noisy in apartment at night time from the rumble of the underground trains – bring your ear plugs for a good night sleep. Windows need up-grading to prevent outside noise. A new set of dishes needed as most were crazed or chipped, Marcel, our apartment agent, asked the cleaning lady to replace most plates and was always available on the mobile to sort out little problems, he also ordered a taxi for us when we left which arrived on time and appreciated. ##### Lindsay B. Stayed 5 nights in May 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karin C., United States 2 Apr 2019 #### Great Location My husband, along with our two teen aged children, spent 6 nights in this great apartment. The location was perfect for exploring Barcelona. We loved having a subway station in front of the building. We could hear the train from inside the apartment, so we slept with a white noise app running on our phones - problem solved. There was a working elevator, but we did not find it necesssry as there were only a few stairs to climb. We loved the view from the terrace. The washer and dryer worked really well. The temperature during our visit did not require the use of heat nor air conditioning, but it was nice to know it was there if we had found it necessary. Keep in mind that you are not given paper towels/napkins, nor are you given a lot of toilet paper. There’s a grocery store nearby though, and prices in Baracalona are rather reasonable, so this was not an issue for us. The second bedroom was really small. It had a cot with a pull out trundle. There were 2 really comfortable couches in the den (I think one converted to a bed). Our daughter opted to sleep on one of the couches, and our son had the small room to himself. Our daughter was very pleased with the comfort of couch. Both bathrooms were a decent size. There was a very limited amount of hot water. We learned quickly that 2 people had to shower at night and 2 had to shower in the morning. Perhaps we are just spoiled by the continuous hot water heater we have at home. The WiFi worked well, but I do not think it would be fast enough to stream movies. Marcel seemed to have thought of everything - a list of nearby restaurants, down to a labeled map of the city on the wall in the kitchen. We had a wonderful stay in Barcelona. I have already recommend this apartment to friends who will be visiting the city in a few months. ##### Karin C. Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joe S. 29 Jul 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Awesome Location!! This apartment is in an exceptional location. It is located one block from Las Ramblas in the heart of Barcelona. It is incredibly easy to obtain transportation from the location via Metro, taxi or bus. The neighborhood is extremely safe and has a multitude of dining and entertainment options. The apartment itself is very spacious for Europe and was immaculate. The bedrooms and bathrooms were large. The kitchen was large and with a washer and dryer, you don't have to pack as much. Very handy!! Communication with Marcel was incredible. Our trip was 18 months in the making as we were scheduled to go in 2020 until COVID. Marcel stayed in regular communication and moving our trip was as simple as could be. Overall, I wish we could rate this apartment and Marcel higher than 5 stars. ##### Joe S. Stayed 8 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Patricia D. 10 Mar 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic stay Our group of three had a wonderful stay in this apartment. The communication with Marcel from the booking request, through the end of our stay was stellar. He was very responsive and helpful. The doorman was also very nice and helpful. The apartment location was perfect. The metro right outside the door and taxi stand a few steps away. A large supermarket was across the street and two blocks down and smaller markets very near on the side streets. Many good restaurants within an easy walk. There is an elevator that helps gets luggage to the first level. We were grandparents traveling with our granddaughter, so enjoyed the separate bathrooms. Didn’t use too much of the kitchen except for the wonderful washer and dryer, which we took full advantage of. We’d absolutely return to this apartment on a future trip to Barcelona. ##### Patricia D.

I can’t think of a better location to stay in Barcelona. The subway, Bus Turistic, taxi stand are just outside the door, and an easy walk to so many sites. We felt very safe in the building and neighborhood. Many excellent restaurants nearby. We didn’t take much advantage of the full kitchen but having a full refrigerator with a microwave plus washer and dryer was a welcome change from staying in a hotel. The apartment was very clean and well-soundproofEd- the gentle rumble from proximity to the subway was barely noticeable, and you can’t hear noise from the street at all. Marcel was a wonderful host who was easily accessible by cell and email. We would absolutely stay here again! ##### Elizabeth M.

The property is as lovely and spacious as the photos show and the location could not be better! Metro stop literally just outside, easy walk to Casa Batllo, la Rambla, and restaurants / shopping. Marcel was very attentive and helped us from arrival to check out. Highly recommend. ##### Nuala M.

Overall the property is very good with great location. However, check-in fees are high and parking nearby is very expensive. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Seaneen B. 26 Dec 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent location!!

A beautiful apartment in the heart of Barcelona. Marcel was a perfect host, although we never got a chance to meet, we never wanted for anything during our stay. The bedrooms were comfortable and the apartment spotless. We would definitely recommend and hope to return! Thank you Marcel! ##### Jane L.

We couldn't have asked for a better first experience in Barcelona. The photos are accurate -- wonderful high ceilings and nicely outfitted bathrooms and kitchen with washer and dryer. It's a great place to kick back and relax, but of course there's so much to do right out the front door. The unit is in a bustling location on Passeig de Gracia, just on the north side of the Gran Via. There's a Metro stop just outside the front door (extremely convenient for outings) and tons of foot traffic day and night due to a great restaurant and bar scene as well as several flagshop retail locations just steps away. However, the windows are pretty nicely insulated for sound, and we slept great every night. So when you want to let in the hubbub of the city, you can open the French doors to the terrace, and when you want quiet you can have that, too. Location is in Eixample, but also really just steps away from the Gothic Quarter, La Rambla, and Mercat de la Boqueria -- all worth a visit although they can get sort of packed with tourists. Get a little further out into Eixample, El Born, and Barceloneta to find a better balance of local flavor with tourist comforts. Marcel has good restaurant recommendations. Ca La Nuri on the beach at Barceloneta was kind of an unbeatable combination of setting, service and food quality. We actually really enjoyed going for drinks and tapas at El Nacional food hall right across Passeig de Gracia from the apartment -- a bit touristy, but a really nice space and lots of fun. We probably had the best time just rolling the dice on places in Eixample that seemed like they were popular with the locals -- Cellarer Wine Bar had a great little menu (and great wine recommedations!) and La Fabrica del Vermutillo was fun. We'd gladly stay here again. ##### Ray D.

The kitchen is well appointed with the basics. The bathroom was spotless. The front bedroom, living room and dining room are spacious. The small bedroom is very small - exactly how it appears in the photo. When the trundle is pulled out, the closet door cannot be opened. The bed and trundle bed are not full size twin beds and there isn't much room for luggage. There were 4 of us staying at the apartment, one friend slept on the couch as the trundle was too small. But, both couches are large and very comfortable to sleep on so that wasn't a problem. The location is perfect, safe and within easy walking distance to almost everything. - the lovely sites of Barcelona, great shopping, lots of restaurants and a small grocery store. It is located on a major road but there is no street noise when the windows are closed. Marcel, the manager, is very professional and is easy to work with. He provides excellent Utube instructions for operating the washer/dryer, stove, AC etc. He called to welcome us when we arrived and to check that everything was in order. He also arranged car service for us to and from the airport. The service was very reliable. The doorman was great. We really enjoyed the apartment and would definately recommend it. Our 3 day stay was much too short! ##### Sheila P.

The metro stop is just outside of the front door of the building and is incredibly convenient with multiple lines accessible right there. Light sleepers might be bothered by the metro going under the building, but we had no problems at all. We really appreciated the list of recommendations that Marcel has put together based on his experience and feedback from various renters, and we went to several of the recommendations during out stay. We would be more than happy to stay here again or in another of Marcel's flats if we find ourselves in Barcelona again! ##### Jenny S.

He called us after we left to make sure we enjoyed our stay. Top notch Host! The location is in the heart of everything you want to see in Barcelona and the Metro is literally across from the apartment! We bought coffee and other incidentals at a local grocery store and walked everywhere. Uber is not available in Barcelona but there are many taxis for your tired feet. El Nacional is a fun but touristy Tapas restaurant across the street. My kids ages 18 and 15 enjoyed pointing to the tapas that the waiters yelled out. We used Yelp and Google Maps with no problems to find great places to eat and visit. One of of favorite breakfast places was EatMyTrip, which is near the university - highly recommend. I would stay here again in a heartbeat! If you are wanting to see great sights in the summer, prebook any tours and museum visits as the crowds swell during this time. Gracias Marcel for making our stay memorable and comfortable. ##### Suzanne C.
