Apartment CONSELL DE CENT

The Eixample (in Catalan L'Eixample) is the name given to the second district of  Barcelona, which occupies the central part of the city, in a wide area of 7.46 km ² which was designed by Ildefonso Cerdá.

It is the most populous district of Barcelona .In one district there are two neighborhoods that share name: 'The Eixample left' and 'The Eixample right', two similar neighborhoods  but distinct personalities.

The Eixample right is perhaps the most monumental of the two where its buildings are more stately and modernists. Similarly, moving through the streets we will discover the most iconic buildings of the city such as Casa Batllo, La Pedrera, Sagrada Familia and Arc de Triomphe.. The two most important avenues of the city are Paseo San Juan and Paseo de Gracia, also the Gran Via, Plaza Catalunya and Diagonal are part of this district.

Activities

The Eixample right is a safe residential area of the city which provides an active nightlife and a pleasant café culture. It is a beautiful area to roam around, enjoy the glorious architecture and people-watching from the terrace of one of the many cafes. The shoppers will find international brands (Max Mara, Chanel, Valentino, Jimmy Chu, Carolina Herrera, etc) as well as leading design shops. Besides there are several mandatory cultural stops.

In this area there is a wide range of nightclubs, bars and dance halls. Most swingers will find here a good option to lengthen their nights.

 Muy conforme con el servicio. Comentario: Seria util que dispusieran de algunos ingredientes esenciales para cocinar (azucar, sal, aceite, aceto) 

 Из плюсов хотелось бы отметить великолепное месторасположение, самый центр Барселоны, старые кварталы, метро на углу дома, супермаркет в соседнем подъезде, окна с балкончиком выходят на улицу. Не пугайтесь, что это 1 этаж, на самом деле это полноценный 2-й. Вокруг множество баров, кафе и ресторанов на любой вкус, на соседней улице небольшой продовольственный рынок. Принимающая сторона говорит по английски, вы звоните по прибытии в Барселону, сообщаете на чем будете добираться и хозяин подъезжает к вашему приезду. В апартаментах есть всё самое необходимое, кондиционер, стиральная и посудомоечная машины, утюг с гладильной доской, фен, телевизор, DVD, микроволновка, гриль для гренок, ну и конечно плита и основная посуда для приготовления и употребления. Единственно не было чайника, но мы обходились ковшиком. К минусам можно отнести плохую звукоизоляцию. Шумно как с улицы, так и от соседей сверху. 50 евро за уборку не предполагают уборку во время вашего пребывания, это плата за уборку п

 This is a very convenient location with a close Metro stop, close grocery stores and close restaurants and cafes. The apartment served us well. 

 Joli petit appartement,bien équipé,très bien situé, avec toutes les commodités à proximité (supérette, métro, pharmacie) et à 2 pas du passeig de Gracia, et de la plazza de Catalunia .Adresse à recommander 

 Molto gentili e disponibili sia per le pratiche pre-arrivo che durante il soggiorno. L'abitazione era pulita e in ottima posizione. Ci siamo trovate bene e sicuramente la consiglieremo. Grazie 

 Posizione ottima vicino alla Metro con panificio e market sotto casa unico giudizio negativo il rumore del traffico notturno essendo al primo piano 

 Appartement idéalement placé car au pied du métro, à quelques minutes de la sagrada familial et à quelques pas également des grands boulevards et de la plaça de catalunya. Accueil bien, appartement propre. Seul bémol, nous étions 4 (2 couples) et seul un couple à pu dormir dans une chambre, car la deuxième n'a qu'un lit simple. Nous avons donc dormir sur le bz du salon. Mais pour quelques jours c'est suffisant cependant. Nous recommandons cet appartement! Prévoir de parler anglais ou espagnol pour le check in et le check out :) 

 Nice modern decorated appartment . Good location near metro station. Quiet. Not far walking from citycenter Pl Catalunya Ramblas 

 Heel fijn appartement met goede service. Lekkere douche, goede stevige bedden. WiFi is handig. Wel af en toe s nachts wakker geworden van de bovenburen als ze door het app liepen, maar verder s nachts rustig. Op loopafstand van allerlei bezienswaardigheden. Naast metro en supermarkt. 10 min lopen vanaf treinstation Passeig de Gracia -aankomst van luchthaven (niet meer met de metro gaan dan, want dan loop je te veel onder de grond). 

 Es un departamento muy bonito, ideal para familias. La ubicación es muy buena, en una zona de fácil acceso, y con muchos comercios cerca. La recepción fue excelente y muy cordial. 100% recomendable. Cuando regrese a Barcelona no dudaré en alojarme nuevamente en este apartamento. Muchas gracias!!!
