| Charming historic centrally located two bedroom near Universitat de Barcelona |
A perfect base for your stay in Barcelona.
If you want to be immersed in an authentic Catalan environment, the Viola apartment is ideal. It is centrally situated and well connected with the metro literally at your doorstep.
The area surrounding the apartment:
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. 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 the Viola 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.
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 (L2) located 5 minutes walking from the Viola apartment.
When you stay at the Viola, 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.
The apartment:
An authentic example of classical Eixample architecture with floor to ceiling glass doors opening onto balconies in both the living room and bedroom. Built around the same time as the Mercat de Sant Antoni, it evokes another era with its 10 foot ceilings and exposed wooden beams. The Viola apartment merges tradition with modernity and is very bright, comfortable and inviting.
This apartment is perfect for 2 people, but can easily accommodate 3 or 4. The main bedroom has an extra large double bed and direct sunlight from the balcony. It is accessed through elegant tall double doors from the living room. Also off the living room, through beautiful double glass engraved doors, is a small den with a built in armoire and a pullout double bed. The living room is a comfortable size where you can relax and enjoy music or watch your favorite DVD. The apartment is well cooled and heated with air conditioner/heat pump controlled from the living room.
The kitchen is spacious, bright and is fully equipped with stove, oven, fridge, toaster, coffee maker, kettle, etc. Here you will also find a table with four chairs and its own small lamp for intimate dinners.
The 5-piece bathroom is also very spacious and charming with large frosted glass double doors providing natural light. The galleria is accessed through the double doors where you will find the washing machine and a place to dry your clothes.
Please note, this apartment is on the second floor (real third) with NO elevator, but the staircase is relatively wide and well lit with an overhead skylight.
