About this property

Fantastic and Bright Apartment in the Heart of Gothic area 10 min from the beach

Great 70 m² apartment with lots of natural light that consists of 4 exterior balconies, living-dining room with 1 comfortable double sofa bed, two double bedrooms (one of them en suite), kitchen and 2 complete bathrooms with shower. Apartment is in an old building typical of the Gothic quarter. Both have been recently renovated. The modern and beautiful decoration of the apartment combines perfectly with the old style of the building. The building is accessed from Ripoll Street but the apartment and the main façade face the Plaza dels Peixos (Fish Square). The apartment is completely exterior with four balconies that face the street, it is a 2nd floor with lots of natural light. In its rehabilitation, all the original architectural elements were respected. Public parking very close to the apartment (Avinguda de la Catedral). The building where the apartment is located is right next to the Gothic cathedral of Barcelona, just 500 meters from the port and its adjacent beaches. Due to its unique location, it is not necessary to use any type of transport, being a 5-minute walk from Las Ramblas and Plaça Catalunya. Most of the museums and most important attractions are accessible on foot, however the main Bus and Metro lines are located right next to the apartment. It does not have an elevator like most of the old buildings in the Gothic quarter.




The city of Barcelona has a tourist tax of 5€ per person/ day to be paid in cash on arrival at the apartment.


* If the arrival is later than 20:00h, there will be a surcharge of 30 € to be paid in cash on arrival.
**If the arrival is later than 00:00h, there will be a surcharge of 50€ to be paid in cash at the time of arrival.

Great location, great apartment.
The apartment was plenty of room for our family of 4. The beds were comfortable and we loved the 3 balconies, the views, and the closeness to the metro and tons of shops/restaurants. It was also great to wash our clothes so we didn’t have to pack as much. We would highly recommend this apartment and would love to return someday.

It was great staying in the heart of Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter. Even though a fiesta in the plaza around the corner made for a very noisy first night (it quieted to normal city sounds by 3am), it was nice to be within walking distance of so many sites, restaurants, etc. A wonderful stay.

Gothic stay
The property is in a great location. It’s accessible to lots of great restaurants and the cathedral is minutes away. The only real complaint is there are 42 steps to get up to your apartment which is not fun when lugging luggage. The view is lovely.

Great setup and convenient location
The property was perfect for two women friends traveling together with two bedrooms and two baths and located so close to all the key attractions in Barcelona. There was ample warning about it being a few flights of stairs up. We're in our mid 70s and managed that well by mutual aid with our luggage up and down. The apartment was light and bright with good ventilation from the balconiy doors ( there is AC but we didn’t need it as temps outside were in the mid 60s.). We didn’t know until check in that the tap water was dicey in that old section of town, so a word about that ahead of time would have been helpful. Apart from that, everything was as advertised and our stay was pleasant.

Pre Mederterian Cruise
No complaints, it is 2 Studio apartments joined together as described. When I made the transaction I received an email saying I would have to pick up the keys at one location and then taxi to the apartment. I was not made aware of that during the transaction and emailed back letting Simona know that we had 18 hours of flights to deal with and wouldn't be on board with that procedure, she emailed me right back and said we were to call her when we landed and she would have someone meet us at the apartment. All communications were excellent, the apartment is as described, yes the stairs are steep as described in other reviews but not that bad. Location is everything, right in the heart of the Gothic Quarter. Highly recommended and thank you Simona for all the help.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Nice cute apartment but there was a major issue: you hear all the noise from the streets and from other tenants in the building all night, which affected our sleep quality & the whole trip. The towels provided left black fluffs on the skin. The second bedroom was freezing at night as no heating. The main bedroom shower didn't drain well. The check-in process could have been clearer as I didn't know how to get in the apartment building. The location was brilliant as it's in the Gothic quarter but close to Catalunya Paza. You have plenty of living space unlike a tiny hotel room.

Great location, adorable place.
Stayed with 5 girls, had an amazing time. The location is great, walking distance from a lot and close to easy to use public transportation. Super cute and great for a small group. Only thing is the kitchen is very small (as shown in pictures) so it was harder than expected to cook dinner. Overall great place tho!!

Perfect location and spacious
Great location right near the Cathedral. Spacious rooms, two good bathrooms and showers and lovely view out of the bacony so you feel part of the city. Great communication from the owners and easy check in process. Lots of narrow stairs up a few flights so be warned and we hoped to eat in more but only two hobs and not much top space so a little limited but made it work. Had a wonderful 5 days with a 10 and 14 year old and the apartment worked perfectly to get to all the attractions.

Great location but could use a few changes
We really enjoyed the location of this accommodation and overall was a great place to stay. I would just suggest that it be clearer that you need to pay for extras when you check in. Including $5.00 Euro person per day, $150.00 damage deposit. Some instructions on the washers could also be helpful for non European travellers as one machine didn’t seem to spin properly. The drains in the showers a not draining properly. We stayed 4 nights and more toilet paper would be helpful. Just a few changes could make your accommodation a 5 star ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.

Perfect place in the middle of town but away from the crowds
Great apartment close to the cathedral and lots of small bars and eateries on the doorstep. We loved living like locals enjoying the neighbourhood. Bosca around the corner for tapas and afternoon drinks in the shady square. Fab little Vermouth place right opposite the front door. We were two couples sharing and the layout was perfect with separate bathrooms and plenty of space to relax with the balcony doors wide open for the breeze. Fab! Will be back!!

Great location!
My family and I stayed at the apartment for over a week. We loved the location. It is right in the heart of the Gothic Quarter and was a great place to stay with the family. We could walk, grab a cab, or take the metro anywhere in the city. The apartment is cute and clean. Having a kitchen and two bathrooms was great. The washing machine was broken when we got there, but we didn't know. We tried to do a load and water poured out. The management company was responsive, but it took several days to fix. It did get fixed, and we appreciated that. The one suggestion I would have for management is that when people are staying over a week, it would have been nice to have a cleaning service come after five days to change sheets and give fresh towels. Overall, we would stay here again. We loved calling this our home while we stayed in Barcelona.
