The building:
Is a brand new completely renovated six-story construction from the 1850´s with an elevator, located in the first line of construction in front of Barcelona’s classic pleasure craft docks “Port Vell”. The building forms part of a group of four blocks build at the same time, that have been declared protected National Monument called "Pòrtics d'en Xifré".

Location:
In the actual cross road between the Gothic, Borne and Barceloneta neighbourhoods. The perfect place to start and finish your day in Barcelona. On one hand close to all the major attractions related to the harbour, World Trade Center, Maremagnum, five minutes walking distance from Las Ramblas and all that it implies in terms of tourism, terraces, people watching, strolling etc. Situated between the old fisherman’s village of the Barceloneta complete with small town squares, local old style markets and little cafes and restaurants on one side and the extremely interesting and fashionable neighbourhoods of the Gothic and the Borne with all the benefits and advantages of a small charming Old World town on the other side, you are surrounded by things to do and see day and night.

Being in the heart of Old town Barcelona you are walking distance to nearly everything of interest in town and also very well connected with lots of buses, metro and subway lines including the tourist bus which has a stop right in front of the building.

Testimonials
Dear Hop, The holiday in Barcelona was great.
The accommodation was very comfortable, the location was perfect. We would offer it to our friends.
We have left you half a bottle of “pálinka” in the fridge. It is a Special Hungarian spirit made of plum. It is not in a fancy bottle, because it is “handmade”, the plum is from our family garden, the recipe is traditional!
Cheers! Thanks for everything, Erzsebet & Judit (Budapest, Hungary)
Hi Hop, I LOVE this flat! This is my new "home" in BCN J
I would like to reserve this flat again for next year. I'm not sure of the dates yet but please put my name on the reservation sheet.
Thanks again for the wonderfully organized stay. I will see you again the next time I am in BCN! Leeza (USA/France)
Hi Hop, The apartment is very comfortable and the location is superb.

Hop, We had a wonderful week in your beautiful city. It was made even better by having a comfortable, well equipped & spotlessly clean place to return after a long day exploring. The location was perfect, with great view & close to our NEW favorite Mexican restaurant. We would not change a thing. Thank you for a lovely “home away from home.”
Our best, Paul and Sue (USA)

Hello Hop, I hope you do fine.
Just to confirm once more that we loved the apartments. You will probably hear from me in the future since I hope to be able to make reservations in the same apartments, but this time for 2 families instead of 8 friends. Sunny greetings from Brussels. Steve
The apartment was quite spacious for 2 people. The location was excellent for walking to La Rambla, El Born, the Gotic area and Barceloneta. Pat B
The apartment and location were everything we wanted and couldn't have been better.....The hop-on, hop-off Turistic bus stops across the street and is a great way to see the city. Payment for Bus Turistic can be made at a 10% discount online at barcelonaturisme.com. The ticket can then be picked up at either Terminal A or B at the airport where you must specify the date or dates you want to use the bus. The 2 day ticket must be 2 consecutive days.... Pat, NY
Great location, Nice and big, well maintained, Quiet, Overall we had a very positive experience and would recommend the accommodation to friends.

Hallo! My friend and I came safely back to Norway - very happy with what we had experienced in Barcelona. The appartement in Carrer de Llauder was beautiful. We celebrated my friend's 80 years birthday in Barcelona, so it was important that it was a success. I hope we can come back to you another time. Thank you! Greetings, Pia
