Located in the Sant Antoni district of the Eixample. This is a friendly, safe and intimate neighbourhood with many shops, typical restaurants and the famous Mercat de Sant Antoni, a beautiful historic building completed in 1896. Here you will find just about anything, from fresh produce to clothes, shoes, etc, but of particular importance is the Sunday morning market famous for antique and used books, stamps, posters, etc. (there is also a convenient supermarket right beside the apartment.) The St. Antoni district is now evolving into a mecca for restaurants and tapas bars. On Parlament, one street south there is a large collection of new, funky tapas restaurants and bars. In fact this area is now becoming a destination in Barcelona for locals and has been described as the "NEW BROOKLYN" of Barcelona. Nearby, Plaça Catalunya and Las Ramblas are a short 15 to 20 minute walk or 5 minutes on the metro (L2) right at your doorstep. Just above Plaça Catalunya you will find Passeig de Gràcia famous for its modernist architecture and in particular Gaudí’s buildings, Casa Batllo and La Pedrera. The Eixample is well known for its wide streets and beautiful architecture.

Also very close to our apartment (10 minutes walking) is Plaça Espanya where you will find the National Museum of Catalunya, well known for Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque art. Outside the museum you can view the spectacular light/music/fountain display on weekend evenings. Other attractions include Poble Espanyol and the Olympic Stadium. The convention centre of Fira de Montjuïc is also conveniently located here. The newly build "Las Arenas" used to be the bullfight arena, and is now a beautiful shopping centre.
In the nearby Parc of Montjuïc, you can visit the Fundació Joan Miró. To get there one takes a really fun funicular ride, which leaves from metro Paral.lel (L3 & L2) located 5 minutes walking from our apartment.

When you stay at our apartment, you will be staying in the real Barcelona, close to everything but located in a friendly authentic Catalan neighborhood, where you can enjoy discovering hidden local restaurants and shops.
