Spacious, bright, and renovated 3-Bedroom Apartment (Born) next to Arc de Triumph,, Barcelona, Spain
Apartment:
Our home is a fully renovated, bright, 3-bedroom/2-bath apartment with a fully equipped kitchen and a spacious dining/living room with high ceilings. It also has an quiet office space.
The apartment is quiet (with minimal street noise—very hard to find in this neighborhood), well-lit, and comfortable, with central AC.
Location:
The apartment is located in the center of Barcelona, in the Sant Pere/Santa Caterina/Born neighborhood of the Cuitat Vella (Old Town) next to the Arc de Triumph. Within minutes’ walk, you will find plenty of restaurants and cafes, grocery/market options (including the Mercat de Santa Caterina), shops, children’s playgrounds, two parks, and more. Nearby sights include the Museo Picasso, Arc de Triomf, Passeig del Born, Basilica de Santa Maria del Mar, Palau de la Musica Catalana, the Zoo, and many other cultural, historical, and architectural landmarks.
The Born and Santa Caterina/Sant Pere neighborhood where we live (sometimes collectively called La Ribera in guidebooks) has a beautiful, romantic, vibrant city setting, and the adjacent Barceloneta (with beach) and Barri Gotic neighborhoods are 10-15 minutes walk from our apartment. Most nearby streets have only limited automobile traffic and are practically pedestrian. There are plenty of old, narrow streets to explore, as well as open plazas full of cafes with outdoor seating.
We are situated close to bus lines and the metro (5 minutes from Arc de Triomf and Jaume I stops; 15 minutes walk to Placa Cataluyna, a hub for almost every metro and FGC line in the city). The Estacio de Francia train station is a 15' minute walk. Taxis are easily hailed just outside our door. You would have absolutely no need for a car here (it would in fact be a great inconvenience to have one). Barcelona is a safe and kid-friendly city.
