The living room and bedrooms have floor to ceiling windows opening onto a balcony which stretches the length of the apartment.
The 50sqm roof terrace is accessed via stairs from the rear of the apartment. It is a lovely area with views of the tower of the Merce Basilica and is a perfect space for relaxing or al fresco dining. To one end of the terrace there is a further bedroom with en suite shower room.
Location
The location of the property is superb. You are just moments from Las Ramblas and the heart of Barcelona's old town yet just a couple of minutes' walk from the old marina. This is a very special property from which to enjoy the best of Barcelona.
Ciutat Vella, or the Old Town is believed by many to be the heart of Barcelona, and comprises primarily of four neighborhoods – El Born, the Barrio Gotico, El Raval and Barceloneta – which are full of old world character, linked by narrow, winding streets. There is a wealth of bars, restaurants, shops and diverse culture throughout the Old Town, making it the obvious first choice for several people looking for a secondary residence to enjoy the best of Barcelona from.
The Barri Gotic is the section of the Old Town (or Casc Antic) directly below Plaza Catalunya, between Las Ramblas and Via Laietana. Full of museums, galleries, restaurants brimming with history and popular bars, the Barri Gotic tends to be the first stop on most peoples itineraries on arriving in Barcelona.
As with other parts of Ciutat Vella, there is a good selection of property. It is possible to find larger flats and some apartment buildings have had elevators installed or have space to put one in. Many of the properties have been renovated but it is still possible to find projects which require work. Original features are evident in most apartments, with the beautiful vaulted Catalan ceilings, wooden beams, and old tiled floors creating great possibilities for combining classic and contemporary design.
Due to its close proximity to Plaza Catalunya, public transport is at its best! There are various bus and metro lines, as well as regional and national RENFE train lines available.
