Large comfortable flat in a residential area in central Barcelona
We live in a 200m2 apartment located in a good, safe area in central Barcelona. The apartment is in a quiet building (only 12 neighbors), and has a doorman during the mornings. The apartment was completely renovated in 2010.
The apartment is spacious and has air conditioner in every room. There are 3 bedrooms , 2 bathrooms (one with bathtub and the other one with shower), big kitchen with a dining table, dining room, living room, office/computer room and laundry room. Wi-Fi is available.
The area is also quiet but very central, 10 minutes away from Passeig de Gràcia and Rambla Catalunya by foot. There are also many buses 3 minutes away, and it is fairly close to subway and railroad stops.
There are many supermarkets and grocery stores around the area, a farmer’s market, bakeries, etc. It is also a nice commercial area, with many shops like Zara, Mango, Bimba&Lola... You can find a wide variety of restaurants, cafes, bars and other leisure opportunities like cinemas, outdoors swimming pool… all of them at a walking distance. We’ll be happy to recommend the best places to visit.
We are also well communicated by train, with Sants and Plaça Catalunya stations 15 minutes away by public transport. From those stations you can travel to very interesting places in Catalonia: Sitges, the beaches in Tarragona (Salou, Cambrils), or the ones in Maresme or Girona (Costa Brava) or even Port Aventura, one of the biggest theme parks in Europe.
We are a 60-year-old married couple (a doctor and a librarian).
Any country in Europe is suitable for us. We love getting to know new cities and we also appreciate to be able to enjoy nature's peace.

GB52299Lovely people, excellent communication before and during the exchange and they left our home sparkling! Their home is very comfortable and well equipped with everything you need. It is in a lovely part of Barcelona, quieter than the major tourist area, but that is easily accessible. The hosts also provided a super guide to restaurants and bars.
