Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
You'll have the narrow medieval streets of the Gothic Quarter on your doorstep, as well as Barcelona Cathedral, when you stay at this apartment. There's an array of fashionable bars and Catalan restaurants to enjoy, too. For a spot of culture, head to the Museu d'Història de Barcelona or the UNESCO World Heritage sites of Casa Batlló and Casa Milà, all within walking distance. As you'd expect, such a fantastic location comes with some street noise, which you may hear throughout your stay if you're a light sleeper. The open-plan living room is spacious, but there's not much food preparation space in the kitchenette, but will you be eating in that much?

Local guide
About Gothic Quarter
Gothic Quarter is a true tourist hotspot, filled with shops and famous attractions on every corner. During the day, urban explorers fill its narrow, stone-paved streets, admiring the neo-Gothic sights – but it’s the night that sees the Quarter truly come to life. Home to some of the city’s most popular restaurants, bars, and quirky shops that stay open till late, the vibrant area is popular among young travellers and party-goers seeking the best Barcelona has to offer.
