This is a spacious (100 sq. meter) apartment, situated on two-floors, to comfortably lodge 6 to 7 people. It is decorated to the highest standard with a library of over 200 books in several languages and some fine art work. It also enjoys two large 32 sq. meter private terraces. On the upper terrace you can enjoy a spectacular panoramic view of the whole city, which takes in the Mediterranean Sea, the Sagrada Familia, and Parc Güell, as well as the mountains of Montjuic and Tibidabo. On the lower terrace you can sunbathe and enjoy a barbecue during the summer months (usually May to October). The neighborhood of Gracia, “Barcelona’s Montmartre", is an area with unique charm, where you can wander for hours, exploring its narrow pedestrianised streets and lively little squares (Sol, Diamant, Revolució, Rius y Taulet etc). It is an area rich in culture with its annual street fiesta, the " festa major " (in mid August), its arthouse cinemas, which screen films in English, and its theatres and bookshops. This is a part of the city where the intellectual crowd gathers to enjoy the laid back, bohemian atmosphere in its cafés, and restaurants, and where independent designers sell their wares in charming boutiques. The apartment is conveniently located to enjoy all the amenities of Gracia itself as well as the city centre. The city centre can be reached in minutes by bus, and is just 3 stops on the underground metro. Within a short stroll of the apartment you can find all the necessary amenities, including supermarkets, Internet cafés, and a myriad of bars and restaurants. The Sagrada Familia and Parc Güell are also within walking distance.
