BARCELONA CENTRE -Plaza España
About the home
A compact and very quiet studio apartment. Being only minutes away from Placa Espanya and across the street from the International Congress hall, Fira Barcelona, this serves as a great lodging alternative for your business trip. An American kitchen allows you to cook your own meals while the comfortable sofa along with a TV, radio and DVD gives you the means to relax and recharge your batteries.
A partial wall separates the lounge/kitchen from the sleeper area where a double bed is waiting for you. Although small, the apartment is equipped with plenty of storage facilities in Spanish carpentry style. The bathroom is ensuite and has a WC, washbasin and bathtub with shower. With a few small windows toward the building’s interior, the apartment is calm and quiet. For hot or cool Barcelona days, this flat is equipped with a cold and hot airconditioner.
Its very central location is one of this apartment’s best points! Within walking distance to the views from the green mountain Montjuic, as well as Las Ramblas, the Miró Park and the beautiful Placa Espanya itself. As this is one of the greatest traffic hubs of the city, you will have no problems getting around to other parts of the city with metro or bus, exploring the city.

You will find sign posts indicating the platform outside the Airport terminal and bringing you to the city, stopping at different points. A one-way ticket costs around 5 €. You can buy the ticket in the same bus.
- AIRPORT TRAIN: Situated on the west part of the Airport terminal, offers you a train service every 30 minutes to and from Barcelona “Sants” train station where you can take the subway (2 stops to Plaça Espanya) or a taxi.

For a first time visitor to Barcelona, we really couldn't rate the apartment high enough - excellent value, spitting distance from the city centre but quiet enough at night to sleep (!) with the beautiful Montjuic parks, art gallery and fountains a minutes walk down the road. Access to the parks and the Olympic stadia - just close enough to be able to walk to the Ramblas and Cathedral Quarter but nicely out of the way of the busy tourist traps
Very friendly and easy to deal with and the air con, washing machine and kitchen came in very useful. Don't splash out on hotels (plenty of bars, cafes and restaraunts near by) - save your money and use the flat as the ideal base to explore a brilliant city.

Flat Is very comfortable for a single or a couple. Very well equiped kitchenette . Very clean bathroom. Half bathtub. Always hot water. TV and HiFi working well. Air-con and fan working well too.
Location: very very good for who come especially for Fira Barcelona which is just 2 mins walkaway. Also metro and bus station very close. There are lots of very nice bars and restaurants very close by . I will recommend to my friends of course.
Service: Excellent. Doing reservation very easy and online payment safe .Check in assistance on time at both check-in and check-out.
The only lack is Internet WiFi. I would advise to put WiFi and increase daily rate 5.00-Eur

We just got back from our trip to Barcelona, a magic week that we will remember for a very long time; part of this wonderful experience was the apartment we rent and our gracious hosts Fiorella and Joan. We stayed in the LLEIDA apartment, 2 adults (1 couple) from Birmingham (UK) and we were very impressed by our accommodation: everything was very comfortable, clean and made to make us feel at home. The location is great, very close to the bus and underground station (in Plaza Espanya you can take almost any public transport in the city) - it took us about 10 minutes to get to Las Ramblas or to any major attraction of Barcelona. Great value for the money, you really cannot ask for more! The apartment is small, but more than enough. The kitchen is very well equipped, so for breakfast and dinner we had no problem to quickly fix something to eat. We already recommended the lleida apartment to some other friends and really hope to go back one day.

What can I say? We had a good experience with Joan and Fiorela (the owners). This is a nice apartment, well placed and with kind owners. We stayed there for 5 nights and had an excellent time. We would definitely stay here again if our travels brought us to Barcelona. So, in summary, a great apartment, great location, very well priced and with nice people.
Cheers!

Wonderful stay at this apartment! (30/03/2008)
Hello, My wife and I have just reurned home after a wonderful stay at this apartment. It was very much better than I expected with great location, handy to everything. First class in every way from the ease of booking to follow up confirmation, very friendly greetings on arrival from Karen.They made sure we settled in well and had every thing we needed. I thought the free bottled water in the fridge or a tourist guide showed just how much thought they put into assuring we had everthing to make our stay a very pleasent one. We have stayed at many hotels and apartments in the past but this one is by far the best deal and value in Barcelona.
Best regards,
Sam Gofton
