The building:
Is a five-story construction old building from the beginnings of 1900 without elevator, located in a pedestrian area around the Modernist and recently refurbished Mercat de la Concepcio, oldest fresh food market of the Eixample district.
Location:
In the middle of the Eixample Neighbourhood (development of the city planned by the engineer Ildefons Cerdà and begun in the second half of the 19th century due to the necessity to extend the city when the medieval old walls were torn down) there is an area called the Quadrat d’or or Golden Square that became at the time the center of the new bourgeois, exceptional area of Modernist Architecture with most of the buildings designed and built at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century. Private elegant bourgeois residences designed by a number of different important architects of the time providing a varied cross-section of Modernist style designs with interesting details on ceramic art, stained glass windows, wrought-iron work, relief’s, mosaics, wood work and statues. Some of the most important buildings located in this Area are Casa Batlló (Antoni Gaudí), Casa Lleó-Morera (Lluís Domènech i Montaner), Casa Milà (Antoni Gaudí) and Casa Ametller (Josep Puig i Cadafalch) all in the Paseo de Gracia Boulevard, and close in Aragon street the Building for Publisher Simon i Montaner (Domenech i Montaner) rehabilitated in 1987 to host the headquarters of the Fundacio Antoni Tapies. Some of these important modernist buildings have organized visiting hours. Casa Mila (La Pedrera) is currently the headquarters of the Caixa Catalunya Foundation, which manages various activities, exhibitions and concerts in the building parallel to the visits of different parts of the inside and the very special roof. Actually all the area is full of art galleries, elegant shops, terraces, bars and restaurants.

Testimonials
Ana's communication before the trip was great, and she was very accommodating, arranging to meet us at the flat even though we arrived fairly late in the evening. The flat itself is very nice, and has everything you will need for your stay. It is just a block away from a metro station, and has a wonderful market right outside the front door to get fresh food every day. It is up 3 flights of narrow stairs - as are most apartments in Barcelona - so bear this in mind if you have difficulty with stairs. But otherwise don't let that put you off, this is a lovely, great value for money apartment in a great city. Nathan (Edimburg)
We had a great time in this apartment. We were there with our two children and they loved the high bed. The apartment has everything you need and all the windows make it very bright. The location is excellent, just around the corner is a fresh market with a supermarket underneath. And the apartment is located on walking distance from places like the Passeig de Gracia, Plaza Catalunya and the Sagrada Familia. But also the metro is very nearby. We certainly recommend this place!. Marianne (Netherlands)
Ana's apartment was very well located, with a market just below. The apartment was very clean with sheets, towels all provided. Kitchen was also well equipped. Ana also gave us a very warm welcome - no issues checking in or out. Air conditioning was also a nice thing to have in the summer. No issues with internet.. Karen (Vancouver)
I found everything that I need at the apartment and everything was working well as internet and AC. I was alone and location make me fell very safe. Ana helped me about the city and my trip from Madrid. You need to eat the codfish at the restaurante between the building and the market. Turn left and turn right. Livia (Salvador de Bahia)
Ana was extremely pleasant and easy to deal with, and really helped make our stay in Barcelona a complete success. She provided great info on logistics and local recommendations, and facilitated a very easy transition into and from the apartment. The apartment was clean and in a great location for us - centrally located in a wonderful neighborhood!. Alice (San Francisco)
