Situated on the corner of a busy street, this restored nineteenth-century apartment is a stone's throw from the beach. With its elegant vaulted ceilings, original crown mouldings and high-end furnishings it's a luxurious choice for couples, groups of friends and families. The generous offering of homemade complimentary toiletries and the Mies van der Rohe chairs in the living room show the hosts really care about quality. The balconies, accessed through large French doors, provide fantastic views of Barcelona's historic Post Office building of Via Laietana and Port Vell.

The rooftop pool and terrace are shared between the whole building
