Placa #5, Budget apartment, a few minutes from La Rambla.
Situated in the heart of the Old Town, at the top of Rambla de Raval, and just a few minutes walk to the main La Rambla, this apartment is a smart budget base in the centre of the city.
The apartment has been decorated simply and brightly with whites and oatmeals. The furnishings are modern and comfortable.
From the front door you step into the hallway which becomes a large kitchen area with all the equipment you need including 4 ring hob and oven, large fridge freezer, washer, dryer and microwave.
The lounge has a large sofa bed, that provides sleeping for 2. The sofa faces the TV and Hi-Fi. There is dining for 4. French windows open onto a small standing balcony onto the bustling street L'Hospital. This room has air-conditioning. A DVD player is available on request.
At the other end of the apartment is the large master bedroom with open shelving and storage.

The completely mosaic tiled bathroom has a shower (no bath). A hairdryer is available on request.
In a very central area of the Old Town, just minutes to the famous Boqueria market on La Rambla, the area of Raval can appear a little intimidating to some, or an exciting bustling authentic experience to others. Staying in this smart budget apartment you'll be in a great base to explore!
Please note that the air-conditioning is only in the lounge.
There are 11 stairs from the main door of the building up to the lift access.

"It was really helpful that you gave us information about where to park our hire car and the rough cost. The apartment was very clean and well maintained. Our greeter was very helpful and waited for us when we were slightly later than arranged."

"Thank you very much for an excellent stay in Barcelona. The website was easy to use and the booking process straightforward. The apartment was much nicer than we expected and was very clean and well equipped. It was centrally located and the greeter was very helpful.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Loving Barcelona and I look forward to using your company again in the future."

"The booking process was straightforward and the information given on your website was accurate. Despite rumours as to the disturbances sometimes occurring in the street where the flat was situated, we experienced no problems. It was a pleasure to stay in an older building, but one which has been converted to holiday accomodation so successfully. Kitchen excellent, with all that one could be expected to require. We found the situation ideal for accessing Pl. Catalunya for buses when necessary, and for walking to explore the Port area. Would highly recommend to visitors the Parc Guell, the Pedrera, and a trip over the harbour on the Cable Car - we walked to the Port and took the Cable Car to Montjuic, where we found the gardens very interesting. Altogether a most satisfactory and enjoyable visit and I would readily book with you again."

Recommendations from Guests that stayed at this apartment...
"The Gaudi experience is great and the tour buses are expensive, particularly for a family however it is worth it as it takes you to the park and shows you gaudi buildings which we never would have seen without this tour."
...Joanne, United Kingdom, August 2011.
"Can't remember the names of most bars and retaurants but Taller Tapas is excellent. Lots of great joints in El Born. Also, hire a bicycle. It's the best way to get about and to see lots."
...John, United Kingdom, October 2010.
"I would thoroughly recommend doing the sightseeing bus tour of the city as it enables you to see more of the city and is good value for money."
