3BR/2BA STUNNING BALCONIED ART NOUVEAU APT, NEXT DOOR TO METRO, CITYWIDE ACCESS | Apartment in Barcelona
3 Bedroom Apartment in Esquerra de l'Eixample, Barcelona
Our newly-remodeled and extremely welcoming apartment, El Grec de Barcelona, combines all of the modern conveniences with a unique design and fabulous Modernist Period High Ceilings, Large Windows, Balconies and Hydraulic Floors. The apartment can sleep six: 2 bedrooms with King-sized beds, one with full bed, and a sofa bed for an additional adult guest or two small children. This flat is a classic possessing high ceilings, enormous windows, renovated hydraulic tile floors, but still offers access though a lift/elevator! The dining room and small adjunct living room are all filled with light from the enormous glass doors to the balconies that overlook Meditació down below...
The apartment's location, the barrio of Eixample, is characterized by long straight streets, a strict grid pattern crossed by wide avenues, and square blocks with chamfered corners (named "illes" in Catalan, and "manzanas con chaflán" in Spanish). This was a visionary, pioneering design by Ildefons Cerdà, who considered traffic and transport along with sunlight and ventilation in coming up with his characteristic octagonal blocks, where the streets broaden at every intersection making for greater visibility, better ventilation and (today) some short-stay parking space. The grid pattern remains as a hallmark of Barcelona. The important needs of the inhabitants were incorporated into his plan, which called for markets, schools, hospitals every so many blocks. Today, most of the markets remain open in the spots they have been from the beginning. You will find something to suit every taste in this area, design and fashion shops, relaxing parks and a range of bars and cafes to have your morning coffee in. There are also a good number of restaurants, bars and discos for those looking for some of the nightlife Barcelona is so famous for. (World renowned TICKETS is a mere 10 minute walk- away!!!) In fact, there are so many tapas bars and restaurants in the vicinity of the apartment - and in Eixample in general- that you will find it hard to decide where to have your meal! Likewise, you will find it difficult to resist the temptation to stop and try out the pastries and breads at the local bakeries located around every corner of this city's most welcoming neighborhood... :-)
Some parts of the Eixample were influenced by Modernist architects, chief among whom was Antoni Gaudí. His work in the Eixample includes the Casa Milà (nicknamed La Pedrera) and the Casa Batlló, both of which are on the wide Passeig de Gràcia, as well as the Sagrada Familia.
The apartment's location, parallel to the main city thoroughfare of Gran Via and within a minute's walk of the metro line, allows you to be at all of Barcelona's famous landmarks within the blink of an eye. The Sagrada Familia Basílica is, for example, only seven minutes - five metro stops - away. And famous Paseo de Gracia, where Casa Batlló and La Pedrera are located, is in the same barrio of Eixample as our property. The Paseo and Gaudí houses are thus only a three minute - or three metro stops - ride away! Plus Plaza España, Fira Barcelona, the new commercial center Arenas de Barcelona, Montjuïc, and its 'Magic Fountain' are just a five minute walk - or one 1 minute metro - ride away!
Even though the apartment is located near a busy street, all the bedrooms face the building's interior court, and the master bedroom is windowless, so you experience absolutely NO street noise when sleeping at night.
