The elegant building was constructed in 1919. The Modernist architect, Bonaventura Con...ill Montobbio was commissioned for the project by Antonio Serra Felui. The very spacious apartment occupies the entire fourth floor of the building. Many of the original elements of the apartment have been maintained, including the entrance hall stained glass window and the chapel. The architect was a friend of Antoni Gaudi.

We - a family of 12 - had a great stay! The location is great, close to the metro and bus lines. We also kept a car in a garage a block away for 86 euros for the week. Adrian the housekeeper was very helpful.
The 12 of us never felt cramped. There are 2 living rooms plus two other rooms in which to spread out.
It's close to all of Barcelona's attractions. Easy to get around. Great bakeries and restaurants within walking distance. We always felt safe whenever we were out even a 2 AM.
We really enjoyed our stay in Barcelona at the L'Eixample apartment. We were very comfortable, the apartment location was great, and the housekeeping service was excellent.
It is a beautiful apartment, a lot of character, very spacious, and very well appointed. A lot of space.
The fact that it is up 5 floors. There is an elevator, but it was very small, and a lot of times we walked the stairs, since we had a large group.
The area is charming and very walkable. The apartment was close to the subway system as well, so everything was very convenient.
My family and 8 adults total enjoyed every part of our experience at the villa/apartment. It was beautiful, well located, and offered enough together spaces and privacy for all of us.
Everything, really. It is very elegant, but comfy, and the owner-manager and the housekeeper were both friendly, helpful and attentive, if necessary, but unobtrusive.
Nothing.
It is a residential part of the city, but with excellent eating, drinking, and shopping establishments nearby, as well as easy access to the city's great subway system.
