The Apartment

After a recent renovation this apartment has been transformed into a perfect blend of old historical elements and modern design: Exposed brick and plastered walls, red floor tiles and vast wooden beams on the ceiling expose some of the original elements used in the construction of this residential building.
The uniquely designed loft like open space of 45m2 (485 Sq. ft.) is divided into 3 areas by a modern kitchen unit; creating a private sleeping area for 2, a lounge area and a dining area right next to the open kitchen. The bathroom is comfortable and well distributed with a lavatory, shower and sink.

The apartment is on the 4th floor on the inner side of a building with its windows not facing the street but inwards, making it a noise free and peaceful retreat to come home to. Because of its central location and stylish interior this oasis of calmness and serenity is a perfect location for both business and holiday travelers.

The communal terrace with plants, easy chairs and a parasol is one flight up and since you’re right underneath it, chances are you'll be the only one making use of it since most inhabitants of the building don’t bother going up the stairs.

The apartment has:

- a sleeping area with a double bed and a cupboard
- a lounge area with a couch that is convertible into a single bed
- a fully equipped open kitchen + dining area with i.e. ceramic cooking plates, oven, toaster, kettle, coffee maker, fridge, dishwasher, washing machine, etc.
- a dining area
- TV, DVD/CD player+ CD’s/DVD’s
- Air-conditioning and heater
- good quality linen, towels and a hair dryer
- an iron and ironing board
- a bathroom with a shower, toilet and a sink
- Guides, maps and books on Barcelona
- no elevator, just the traditional staircase; 4 flights
- since the apartment is an ‘interior’, you don’t have wide views
- a communal rooftop terrace- one floor up-, with terrace furniture

The Area

Just around the corner of Plaça Catalunya, Barcelona's central square at the north end of La Rambla, between one of the city’s main shopping streets ‘Portal de l’Angel’ and Via Laietana, you will encounter the quiet, pedestrian street ‘de les Moles’ with the apartment Molas. The apartment is as centrally located as one can wish for in the Medieval part of town, called Barri Gotic or Barrio Gotico (in Castilian). Barri Gotic is the oldest part of the city and is the settling site chosen by the Romans during the Augustus Empire (27 to 14 B.C.). It is a dense are with numerous winding streets full of historic and artistic landmarks. Las Ramblas with its street vendors, living statues, bird sellers and flower stalls is very close by, just as the Plaça reial with its bars and restaurants and the fresh market ‘La Boqueria’.

Northeast of the famous Las Ramblas promenade, The Paseig de Gracia offers an abundance of upscale fashion shops and department stores and this is where one encounters the most famous Gaudi buildings ‘La Pedrera’ and ‘Casa Battlo’. The apartment is in a very central, yet quiet location, making it an ideal base to explore the city.
