The Rockwell Apartment in Barcelona - FriendlyRentals

Description from the manager

A stylish, quiet and luxurious apartment in the heart of Barcelona's Eixample district.

This fantastic, stylishly designed apartment is a few minutes walk from Plaza Univesitat - the beginning of the amazing Ciutat Vella - the oldest part of central Barcelona. This great apartment is within easy reach of shops, transport and cinemas. With bars, clubs and hundreds of restaurants right on the doorstep of the apartment, you don't need to go far to enjoy all that the old town of Barcelona has to offer. A holiday stay at this convenient accommodation will make your adventures around Barcelona easy to plan.

The area surrounding the apa...rtment:

The Rockwell apartment is located right in the middle of Barcelona city, making it accessible to all areas of interest in Barcelona such as Placa Catalunya, the Gothic Quarter, Las Ramblas and El Borne. Walk out the front door of the apartment building and you will find yourself in the Eixample area of Barcelona. This is more of a residential area but a short 5 mins walk (about 4 blocks) and you reach Plaza Catalunya, considered the nerve centre of the city. From Plaza Catalunya you will see the beginning of the famous Las Ramblas, and from there at approx 4 mins you will find the superb food and produce market called La Boqueria on Las Ramblas, an absolute must for any visitor to Barcelona. The Rockwell apartment offers a more quiet reprive from the bustling and very busy Las Ramblas but close enough for guests to walk 2-3 minutes to where the action is.

Another short walk from Plaza Catalunya and you will find yourself in the heart of the very trendy El Borne area, one of Barcelona's oldest neighbourhoods. An intricate maze of plaças and squares all interconnected by narrow, medieval streets where you will find lots of trendy boutiques and great bars, cafes and restaurants. Another option for the visitor staying at this great Barcelona apartment is to visit the Gothic quarter situated right in the heart of the old town. This is the area that fell within the medieval walls and, until 150 years ago, made up the entire city of Barcelona. The area is a body of interconnecting narrow, cobble stoned streets where you can potter around for hours and explore the shops and restaurants.

As you can see, should you choose to stay at the Rockwell apartment during your visit to Barcelona, you will literaly find yourself in the heart of Barcelona!!

  A lot better than described

  Left on 01/16/2012 for a stay in January 2012
  
  

  It was very well equipped and had a good location. It seemed better than the description and we liked the the decor of the apartment.
  
  The standard of decoration was good, the rooms are really spacious and bright and the living room has a central window/door with a great art design over it. The balconies at either end of the apartment were nice for getting a feel of the city.
  
  It had a really homely feel as there were little extras like a juicer/blender which also had a strange fresh coffee maker implement that we never got to use. The Wifi and stereo were good ... especially as they had a cable on the stereo for us to plug in our iphones etc... useful as we have competing tastes in music.
  
  In terms of surroundings, lots of things were within walking distance as the apartment is very near the centre of town. The person who met us was helpful and helped us with our questions and about things to do etc.
  
  We really liked it and it's great for a short break like ours but I imagine we would have been equally as comfortable if we had a longer stay.

  Quite and well located with very few drawbacks

  Left on 09/22/2011 for a stay in August 2011
  
  

  We did not have any bad surprise. The apartment was correctly described. It is well located and the area is safe and quite. Three weak points:1) the bathrooms are old with a standing which is below what could be expected for the price. 2) the living room is dark without windows which are only located in the bedrooms.3) Only two bedrooms on three had air conditioning and this point is not emphasized in the description.

  Loved it from the moment we walked in. Even the description online did not do justice to how great an apartment this one is.Everything we could have needed, including wifi was avaialble.Also, the location, a few minutes to everything, whatever you desired from your stay in Barcelona..was not far from your doorstep.

  Excellent location and very clean, quiet and spacious

  Left on 10/23/2010 for a stay in October 2010
  
  

  This apartment was great overall. We especially liked it because it is in an excellent location within a few minutes walking distance of the centre of town. Inside it had all the things we were looking for like adsl etc and was very clean and had lots of space. At night it was easy to get back on foot or the metro so we didn't have to worry about getting taxis. We didn't expect it to be so but it was very quiet even though it was central. We enjoyed our stay very much and the person who met us was friendly and answered any questions plus gave us some extra local knowledge. I know where to stay the next time I'm in Barcelona!
