About this property

Feel the Local Atmosphere at the Very Centre

License HUTB-009936
Cute studio at only 10 minutes walking to Plaza Cataluña or to the Ramblas, with great views of Sant Antoni market in the Eixample quarter. The studio is situated on the first floor (principal) of a building without elevator. Since the apartment faces the XIX century market, the open views let the sun get through the balcony window in the morning and a pleasant light during the day.

The apartment is nicely refurbished, with high quality and modern but warm materials like microconcret and wooden floors. It is fully equipped: full kitchen, dining area for two or four, washing machine, dryer, and a modern and comfortable bath-room. All details have been carefully chosen.

Sant Antoni neighborhood is a typical area where you can experience the real Barcelona life with a lot of places to eat “tapas”, to have a good dinner or to drink a wonderful Spanish wine. This is not a tourist area, prices are not crazy, the bakeries offer real bread and the hidden tapas bars are not fashioned or tricky. They have been here always. It's one of our local treasures.

Try to make your own tapas in the small but well-equipped kitchen. There is a temporary market just one block away, while St. Antoni market is being refurbished. There you can get all kind of fresh food or delicatessen items in the shops around the apartment. You'll get an extensive list of amazing places near it.

Furthermore, the location allows you to walk almost everywhere. Reach easily the city center from Plaça Catalunya and visit all the Gaudi's musts. Walk through the Raval and get to the Ramblas and Boqueria market. Walk through the theater district, Paral·lel, to the harbor and the marina promenade. Or walk up Montjuïc for a whole day of awesome museums and gardens.

Keywords: Studio, one room, one modern bathroom, close to the city center, safe neighborhood.

Tiny but efficient

This place had everything we needed. We especially loved the washer/dryer as we had been on a weeklong hiking trip. Very easy access to the subway. We were able easily explore the city this way.

Week stay in Sant Antoni

We enjoyed our week in this apartment across from the Sant Antoni market. It was a great location, with the market, many restaurants, and other conveniences a short walk away. It was a relaxing stay after moving from a busy hotel in Barri Gotic.

Barcelona Stay

Our stay was amazing! The apartment is located right in the middle of so many great restaurants. We didn’t plan on any specific outings before hand so we did end up walking long distances so be prepared if you want to see all the typical sights. But overall, we would definitely recommend!

Amazing central location

Just spent 3 nights at this apartment and it was truly a wonderful stay. The location is perfect. We walked to everything and really enjoyed immersing ourselves in the local atmosphere. Loved watching the locals of all ages go about their daily business - walking their dogs and doing their shopping at the Sant Antoni market. The apartment was very comfortable and clean with everything you could possibly need. Mar was an amazing hostess with great instructions, recommendations, and always willing to help with anything.

Great Space, Excellent Management, in a Fantastic Location!

The stay was perfect! Management was incredibly communicative, friendly, and helpful with great suggestions for getting situated, getting around, and places to explore. The apartment was very clean, comfortable, and well-outfitted, and is in a great safe area. It's close to the metro, quality eateries, nice local shops, and the impressive Sant Antoni market next door. The perfect starting point for our adventures and a perfect space to unwind at the end of the day. Would strongly recommend and would stay again!!

Fabulous location!

What a delight to stay across the street from Sant Antoni Market! The apartment is compact & cozy. There's literally a wonderful coffee shop next door and several doors down, a great bakery. After a month traveling & staying in a variety of places, this was by far the easiest apartment to access, thanks to new technology on smart phones. Mar was incredibly responsive to any questions we had, whether about the apartment or where to eat. We would definitely stay here again!

Barcelona Stay

Our first time in Barcelona and the apartment was just right for us to explore the city. The Sant Antoni neighborhood is safe and close to everything including the Metro and transit to take us to all the sights of the city. Mel, our host was very quick on directions for arrival & checkin and continued to communicate with us on anything we needed. Thank you very much for hosting us. Albert & Donna

About the host

Hosted by Mar Mellado

Host profile image
I'm from Barcelona and I love this city. I have always lived here.

One of my favorite hobbies is photography. I have a group of friends with the same interest and we usually go with our cameras to take pictures of our city; we discover every time new places unseen or despite we repeat places or neighborhoods we always find a new look of them.

Why they chose this property

I am a Barcelonian, I like this city very much and this part of the Eixample, the Sant Antoni neighborhood, is special because is a very local place just at 10 minutes walking from the center. The best tapas bar's are located in it, some of them at 2 or 4 blocks from the apartment. It's a very alive neighborhood with good restaurants, special and nice bars and wine shops where you'll enjoy as if you were a true Barcelonian. The ancient market, fromt the XIX Century is a nice architectonical piece just at a glance.

What makes this property unique

Is a new and comfortable place, carefully refurbished. It is quiet, nice and has all the amenities you could need.

The neighborhood is full of interesting places to visit like the sunday old books market, restaurants, typical bars, tapas bars, theaters... The old city is only at 10 minuts by foot where there are the most interesting monuments and museums.

You can be a 'barcelonian' for some days spending time at the studio. It is located in a not 'turisty' place but at only few minutes walking for everything you can see in this city. I love the place and I'm sure our guests will enjoy it!
