Barcelona Apartment Rental

Charming, colourful place in the historic center

Description
It's classy, it's comfy, and it could be your summer getaway

Right in the middle of El Borne, the historic center of Barcelona, you will find this charming, colourful place. The apartment, measuring some 75 m2 (850 sq. feet), is decorated by owner Pilar, resulting in a great harmony between the old an the new.

The antique mosaic on the floor is echoed on the kitchen and living room walls by a more modern variety, done by Pilar herself. The comfortable and stylish furniture blends in well with the apartment's heigh ceilings, the classic wooden beams on the ceiling and the French windows to the two little balconies on the street side.

All in all, we're sure that you'll find that the only trouble with this place will be... moving out again at the end of your stay.
