Apartment - 3 people

Main Description:

Welcome to a FridaysFlats experience

Front row seats for the Barcelona Show!

The spectacle this city puts on every day is such an incredible magnet that it attracts people from all over the world. What does this flat have that others don’t? Both the centric location and the quiet resting areas. Hard to come by combo in this city, we can assure you!

Perfect for 3 people, this spacious flat consists of one master bedroom with a double bed plus a generous and bright living area that turns into a resting area at night, since another guest can comfortably sleep on a single bed. The sofa and the dinner table provide a great hang-out space where plans can be made and adventures can be plotted.

Since it’s close to everything and perfectly communicated through public transport to all the areas of Barcelona where you can see, taste, experience or photograph anything remarkable, this place is ideal for the explorers that will spend most of their time outdoors. We say “ideal” because after all the effort of being a tourist (which is a tiring albeit pleasurable experience), you will get to come home to a clean and carefully decorated place that is perfect for napping or resting.

But don’t trust us, trust the reviews. If you will look at what our previous guests have said, you will get confirmation that this place is as cute, clean and centric as we claim.

Fully equipped kitchen, electric stove, microwave, washing machine, dishwasher - all the commodities of modern life are at your disposal.

You have arrived! Where, you ask? In the Centre, we answer!

Don’t trust us, trust our reviews it doesn’t get more central than this 3 person flat (fitted with 1 double bed & 1 single). If you want to be hosted right near Barcelona’s KM 0, pick this property and enjoy the incredible amount of space inside, plus how crazy-centric it is when you leave the flat. You know what else is crazy? How quiet it can be inside, which is why everyone loves this apartment’s combo of serenity plus location.

There is only one AC unit in the living room.


Notes:

First of all, welcome to Barcelona. We’re happy to have you and we hope you have an amazing time staying in our flat. That being said, at the risk of being obvious, here are some basic ground rules:

Be mindful
We are not the police, nor do we want you to feel like we are patronizing, but we think it’s our duty to point out some common sense stuff, as we’ve had our experiences with not so well behaved guests in the past.
Respect the neighbours. Put yourself in their shoes, and keep the noise down to a minimum after 10PM. You are on holiday, but they’re probably stressed about their jobs and would appreciate a good night’s sleep. We want you to have fun, but be reasonable and don’t do unto others what you wouldn’t like done to you. Pissing them off is only going to get you into trouble, and surely you don’t need that while you’re on holiday.

No Parties!
We get it, you’re excited about being in Barcelona. But remember, the walls are thin and if you’re having a party, so are the neighbours. And maybe they’re not in the mood for that. Don’t start a fight you can’t possibly win, it’s their city and we want to respect that. Any guest that causes a disturbance will be asked to leave the apartment immediately (no refund at all to be granted). Sorry!
Also, watch out for slamming doors or hallways. Try to be quiet when entering the building, it’s not hard to be a good neighbour and we’re sure you can do it.
Also, it is not allowed to have more guests than you indicate during your reservation.

Keys & check-out
Don’t leave the keys in the mailbox. If you leave earlier than check out time, please leave the keys on the table and pull the door behind you to shut it. Most flats have the type of door that doesn’t require you to lock when you leave. That’s something to watch out for, as it’s very easy to get locked outside (which is also a bummer, take our word for it). Make sure you lock the door with the key every time you leave the flat. That way your belongings stay safer.

Don’t smoke inside
NO smoking allowed in the apartment. We care about your lungs, but if you have to do it, please step outside. We’d like to keep the flat from smelling bad when our next guests arrive.

Don’t waste energy
We kindly ask you to please turn the lights and air conditioning units OFF whenever you leave the apartment. We care about our planet.


Extra stuff
Additional cleaning, bedding etc can be arranged for a longer stay - but you have to request this while booking.


Tourist tax:
The government of Cataluñya imposes a tourist tax of €6.88 to be paid by every person over 16 per night with a maximum length of 7 days. The tax is a small price to pay in exchange for clean beaches, well-maintained roads, and good facilities.

Arrival
Standard Check-in is from 15:00h to 20:00h. However, we can accommodate late arrivals as well.
Please note the extra charges for late arrivals:
Arrivals after 8PM have to pay €25 in cash to the person making the check in with you.
Arrivals after 12AM have to pay €50 in cash to the person making the check in with you.
These charges are due to late working hours of our staff.

Departure
Check-out time is by 11AM. Arrangements can be made to leave luggage in the apartment until the departure from Barcelona if no other reservations are pending.
Note: if there is no booking for that day, talk to us about arranging a later check-out (if possible).

Lost keys
If you lose a key, there will be a charge of €50 to replace the set.

Kind request
On your last day, please wash the dishes and take out the garbage.

We are here for you 24/7 - it’s our job to make sure you have a good time. Therefore, in addition to anything accommodation related, we can help you plan just about any experience you can think of, be it sailing trips, guided tours, off-the-beaten-path voyages.

We also offer deals on airport shuttle at convenient prices.

Neighborhood:

If you’re here for the city

This is the city center. Barcelona is a vibrant place, with its contagious exuberance constantly spilling out onto small streets and cute Plaças packed with cafes, bars and local designer shops. Take yourself for a wander down the iconic La Rambla, an eclectic kilometer of restaurants, bars, cultural venues, street vendors, convenience stores, fashion boutiques and just about anything else you can think of. Explore palaces, history rich sites like Plaça Reial, admire street performers and avoid flower sellers. There’s an El Corte Inglés department store, in the heart of the city: Plaça Catalunya.
A notable stop on La Rambla is its famous Boqueria, a fresh-food market with over 300 stalls that sell produce, meats, cheeses, fish, seafood, nuts, fresh juices and many other incredibly delicious things to munch on. There’s also a local food school where local chefs and sommeliers share their wisdom.

If you’re here for the beach

Stroll past Plaça Reial, and stop for a beer or coffee (or, as the locals would say, “both”) under the shade of its old palm trees. Contemplate the gothic architecture around Barcelona’s 800 years old Cathedral, all covered in gargoyles. See Columbus’s statue, admire the yachts in the marina and stroll through the Barceloneta streets onto the nearest beaches for the Mediterranean vibe. Elegant colonial buildings surround you. Shadowy arches. High windows. Fading wooden shutters. Travel back in time as you wander the narrow streets. The buildings lean overhead, almost touching.

If you’re here for nature

Parc Guell, Parc de Ciutadella and many other locations such as Montjuic or Tibidabo are easily accessible by metro, bus or taxi. There are many places where you can enjoy the beauty of nature, wild colored flowers or fragrant bushes. Just to visit all the attractions of Montjuic could easily take you a week. Here you can find not one but two wondrous botanical gardens, one of them a picture perfect cactus reservation that’s one of the natural wonders of Barcelona, The Fundacio Miro, The Poble Espanyol, The Theatre Grec, Palau Sant Jordi or the former Olympic village are only some of the attractions on Montjuic, but neither rivals the panoramic view of the city and the sea you will get from up there.

If you’re here for shopping

Shop ‘til you drop! Or maybe not that much, but still, find local designers and cute boutique stores plus the big Corte Ingles within walking distance, or start on Portal del Angel and walk towards Passeig de Gracia / Rambla de Catalunya. If you’re looking for something more upscale, go to the Corte Ingles on Diagonal, or to Diagonal Mar, Europe’s biggest luxury shopping mall.
Pro tip: You’ll love the boutiques on Carrer d’Avinyó. At Number 7 you’ll find La Manual Alpargatera. It sells espadrille-inspired shoes. It's whispered they cut their colours from a real rainbow. Grey-purple-green? No problem.

If you’re here for museums

Rest assured, all the adjoining neighbourhoods like Gothic, Born and Raval are full of museums, monuments and interesting cultural venues like Museo de la Marina, MACBA (for Contemporary Art) or the Catalan Cultural Center, plus some fun and interesting stuff for kids of all ages (Big Fun Museum and Museum of Illusions or the Wax Museum). The Gran Teatre del Liceu (Opera) is also a few steps away, on La Rambla. Bonus, everything is within walking distance
