The Paseo de Gracia D apartment is a lovely completely renovated 1 bedroom apartment in a beautifully maintained building located on Barcelona’s wealthiest avenue Passeig de Gracia, just a view meters from the main square Placa de Catalunia, the center core of Barcelona. The gothic quarter and Las Ramblas are only a stone throw from the apartment.
From the moment that you walk into the beautiful marble entrance of this in 1890 constructed building, you will be completely captivated.
This fantastic apartment has light parquet flooring throughout; the quality of the furnishings and tasteful decoration gives the apartment a wonderfully modern and elegant look... it has been refurbished to a high standard and this is very apparent as you walk in the front door.
The living room comes with a comfortable sofa and 2 armchairs. This is the perfect spot to sit back in and relax; TV, DVD, all the appliances are top-notch making this a luxurious apartment. The sofa can be converted into a comfortable double bed for the 3rd and 4th guest in one easy movement. The spacious private terrace with table and chairs for 4 people plus 2 sun chairs is reachable from the living room. Orientation is south, perfect for sun hungry travelers. Even during sunny winter days, this terrace is a plus as pretty much covered from the wind.
There is also a dining table inside the apartment which appears to be a desk to work on but can be easily converted and offers space for 4 guests to enjoy a meal.
The main bedroom comes with a double bed and ample wardrobe space. This bedroom also has an en-suite bathroom tastefully done in marble with bath/shower and fresh towels, soap, and shampoo ready for use on arrival.
Kitchen: The fully equipped and modern kitchen offers everything necessary in case guests wish to prepare a meal. All appliances are top brands. At the guests disposal are an induction stove, oven, coffee maker, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, dryer, microwave, toaster, etc.

Great property, great location!

The apartment is ideally situated to walk to all the major attractions, and the apartment itself is clean, functional and well maintained. We think it needs a small dining table, as in January, it was too cold to eat outside on the patio table. Not a big issue, but it would make a great place even better!

Wonderful apartment, great location!

We would highly recommend this apartment, especially for a couple. The large bathroom is located in the bedroom, so that might be a consideration for family groups. The apartment has a nice open space, is clean and very comfortable. It is very close to the metro, however, most major sites all within walking distance. We would highly recommend dining at Tapas 24. It is fantastic!

Barcelona Escape

2nd time staying in Marcel's Barcelona apartment and was just as lovely 5 years later. Location is superb...metro station out the door...building is very nice with a doorman and lift. Apartment is spacious with A/C, laundry (washer and dryer), large bathroom, and comfortable bed. The outside area is spectacular and kitchen has everything needed to fix a meal at home. Highly recommend for a visit to Barcelona...walkable to most sites or a quick Metro trip away.

Wonderful Apartment

My husband and I just came back from spending a week in this wonderful Barcelona apartment. It was everything we could have wanted. The apartment was clean and new and very well equipped, including having a full size washer and dryer and a terrace. Marcel was extremely helpful and spent time explaining everything to us on our first day. The location couldn't have been more ideal - we could walk to virtually everything, but when we needed to take the subway, it was right outside the door. We could not have asked for a better place.

Beautiful Apt. in Excellent Location

Terrific place to stay. The apartment was clean and spacious. Plenty of storage for clothing, suitcases and bathroom articles. The picures are accurate but it is better in person! The kitchen is small but more than adequate for breakfast and snacks. Placa de Catalunya is minutes away walking and the Metro is directly outside the front door. Several charming tapas bars within a block or two. (Try Ciudad Comtal or Tapas 24) We would recommend this to family and friends. We would definitely stay here again.Thank you Marcel and thank you to Enrique - the best doorman ever!

Marcel does a great job, clean secure apartment in a great spot . This apartment is so convenient to everything. The metro is 50 meters from the front door.. Marcel is super responsive. I would probably get some different furniture as the existing couch and chairs were not very comfortable. Also the bed although very comfortable is very close to the floor

Wonderful apartment, great location, very clean

My wife and I really enjoyed this apartment. The location is great for access to countless restaurants and shops right out your front door. There is a very large balcony, the bed is comfortable, and the bathroom is also very nice and not cramped. The owner, Marcel, was very easy to work with and get hold of with questions. He also helped arrange a taxi to get us to the airport on short notice. We will definitely be coming back to Barcelona and will be sure to stay here again!

Nice apartment

The apartment was very clean, worked out well for 4 women sightseeing from the US. It was in a nice location, just down the street from Casa Batlo, and close to a grocery store also. We walked all through the city from here. Marcel was very accommodating in allowing us to store our luggage both before check in time on our arrival date and after our checkout time on our discharge date.

Amazing and outstanding apartment

Marcel's apartment is an outstanding place, the location is fantastic right on the main festive street of Barcelona ( the metro is just outside the apartment door)- Plaza Catalunya is 5min walking which means any public transport and the airport bus is extremely handy. The apartment facilities are perfect and the video tutorials/document book are brilliant to help with the usage.Marcel was extremely kind and patient with all my queries since the time of booking and even though we couldn't meet bin person, his detailed instructions and email made up for it. Perfect and wonderful stay for us with a young kid and the week spent here is arguably the best vacation we have had. No hesitation to recommend Marcel's apartment for anyone coming to Barcelona.

Fantastic Location!

Marcel’s property is in a perfect location. Metro right outside the apartment and La Rambla a few short blocks away. Just far enough from all the crowds. So convenient to restaurants and lots of high-end shopping. Marcel was away but kept in contact with us. The apartment concierge, Enrique, showed us around the apartment and was very friendly and helpful. We would stay here again and we think you would enjoy it as well!

Location and Top Notch Service

First time visiting Barcelona and this apartment was so perfect in location. From this stop you can see all the highlights of the city and be The metro was so easy to use and the restaurants in the city and recommended by Marcel were excellent. Our favorites : 7 portes, Vinitus ( tapas) and Bodges ( old fashion cocktails). Having the outside balcony was also nice. Marcel arranged a taxi service to the airport and was extremely responsive during our stay! You are a quick walk to the Ramblas and great shopping right on the block! The apartment is very well appointed with a spacious living room with a TV, a kitchen with everything you need! The washer and dryer also came in handy on our 9 day stay. We have a comfortable bed and a great shower everything you need to have a great holiday!! Thank you again Marcel

Séjour réussi à Barcelone!

Appartement très propre, bien équipé et bien situé (la majorité des attractions sont accessibles à pied ou en court trajet de métro). L'appartement est au 6ième étage d'un bel immeuble avec ascenseur et concierge. Station de métro Passeig de Gracia tout près, de même qu'une épicerie sur la Rambla (Carrefour) ou encore au sous-sol du grand magasin El Corte Ingles. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié la terrasse privée donnant sur la cour pour prendre les repas, ainsi que la présence d'une laveuse et d'une sécheuse sur place. Le lit est confortable. La Rambla est à 10 minutes de marche. Aussi disponible dans l'appartement: liste de bonnes adresses et de conseils sur Barcelone, de même que de courtes vidéos sur internet expliquant le fonctionnement des appareils ménagers. Séjour très agréable. Merci beaucoup Marcel!

Super zentrale und gediegene Unterkunft

Die Unterkunft hat alles geboten, was eine gute Ferienwohnung ausmacht: Klimaanlage, voll ausgestattete Küche, gemütliches Bett im Schlafzimmer, schönes und gepflegtes Badezimmer sowie eine Dachterrasse mit Markise, Dusche, Sonnenliegen und Esstisch sowie Stühlen. Ein Kritikpunkt sind für uns die harten Sonnenliegen, die leider auch keine verstellbaren Rückenlehnen haben. Und die Schlafcouch im Wohnzimmer ist leider auch nicht so gemütlich zum Schlafen. Hier müsste die Matratze ausgetauscht werden. Die Lage der Wohnung ist super zentral und lädt zum Shoppen und Bummeln ein. Auch konnten wir all unsere Ziele fußläufig erreichen. Wer nicht so gut zu Fuß unterwegs ist, für den besteht aber auch problemlos die Möglichkeit, den Bus oder die Metro zu benutzen, die schnell und gut zu erreichen sind. Die Wohnung verfügt über zahlreiche Infomaterialien über die Stadt und der Concierge des Hauses hat auch jederzeit gerne hilfreich Auskunft gegeben. Die Unterkunft hat uns sehr gefallen und hat wesentlich dazu beigetragen, dass wir unseren Aufenthalt in Barcelona genießen konnten.

About the host

Hosted by Marcel

Host profile image
Hi, I am Marcel. I moved to Barcelona in the year 2002. On my first trip to Barcelona (which was in 2001), I fell in love with this wonderful city and I decided that I wanted to live here yes or yes. After that trip, I returned to Germany (where I am originally from), packed my bags, and made the move. No regrets so far. I started hosting guests short after my arrival in the city and until today I enjoy meeting people from all over the world and sharing this truly rich culture Barcelona has to offer.

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location. First-time visitors might not yet know that Paseo de Gracia is in Barcelona what in New York is the 5th Avenue, or in Berlin the Kurfürstendamm, or in Paris the Champs-Élysées. This apartment is located directly on Paseo de Gracia only 1,5 blocks from Plaza de Catalunia, which is the main square of the city. Most of the main attractions which travelers want to see are all located in this area. That means short walking distances from the apartment (I explain details in the apartment description). There are also so many good restaurants, cafés, and bars here. In my opinion, this is the best spot from where to stroll out in order to discover Barcelona, every day. I lived here myself for a few years and therefore know the area and the apartment inside out.
