License HUTB-009936
Cute studio at only 10 minutes walking to Plaza Cataluña or to the Ramblas, with great views of Sant Antoni market in the Eixample quarter. The studio is situated on the first floor (principal) of a building without elevator. Since the apartment faces the XIX century market, the open views let the sun get through the balcony window in the morning and a pleasant light during the day.

The apartment is nicely refurbished, with high quality and modern but warm materials like microconcret and wooden floors. It is fully equipped: full kitchen, dining area for two or four, washing machine, dryer, and a modern and comfortable bath-room. All details have been carefully chosen.

Sant Antoni neighborhood is a typical area where you can experience the real Barcelona life with a lot of places to eat “tapas”, to have a good dinner or to drink a wonderful Spanish wine. This is not a tourist area, prices are not crazy, the bakeries offer real bread and the hidden tapas bars are not fashioned or tricky. They have been here always. It's one of our local treasures.

Try to make your own tapas in the small but well-equipped kitchen. There is a temporary market just one block away, while St. Antoni market is being refurbished. There you can get all kind of fresh food or delicatessen items in the shops around the apartment. You'll get an extensive list of amazing places near it.

Furthermore, the location allows you to walk almost everywhere. Reach easily the city center from Plaça Catalunya and visit all the Gaudi's musts. Walk through the Raval and get to the Ramblas and Boqueria market. Walk through the theater district, Paral·lel, to the harbor and the marina promenade. Or walk up Montjuïc for a whole day of awesome museums and gardens.

Keywords: Studio, one room, one modern bathroom, close to the city center, safe neighborhood.

This place had everything we needed. We especially loved the washer/dryer as we had been on a weeklong hiking trip. Very easy access to the subway. We were able easily explore the city this way.

Barcelona Stay
Our stay was amazing! The apartment is located right in the middle of so many great restaurants. We didn’t plan on any specific outings before hand so we did end up walking long distances so be prepared if you want to see all the typical sights. But overall, we would definitely recommend!

Amazing central location
Just spent 3 nights at this apartment and it was truly a wonderful stay. The location is perfect. We walked to everything and really enjoyed immersing ourselves in the local atmosphere. Loved watching the locals of all ages go about their daily business - walking their dogs and doing their shopping at the Sant Antoni market. The apartment was very comfortable and clean with everything you could possibly need. Mar was an amazing hostess with great instructions, recommendations, and always willing to help with anything.

Week stay in Sant Antoni
We enjoyed our week in this apartment across from the Sant Antoni market. It was a great location, with the market, many restaurants, and other conveniences a short walk away. It was a relaxing stay after moving from a busy hotel in Barri Gotic.

Wonderful Mar
What an incredible experience in Barcelona. Mar went above and beyond from the very beginning. We had difficulty getting into the apartment, only because we weren’t tech savvy and Mar assisted us. The apartment was perfect-from the location, to the cleanliness to the size. Wonderful washer/dryer. 2 units, not combination. The Sant Antoni market was across the street. I loved the neighborhood. A real gem! Thank you Mar for your hospitality!

My partner and I really enjoyed our stay at Mar’s apartment. It has all the necessities and is in a great location right across from the Sant Antoni market, near the metro. Mar is very detailed and responsive, which made us more comfortable, knowing that Mar was there to address questions or issues at any time. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a great location in a laid back neighborhood!

Fabulous location!
What a delight to stay across the street from Sant Antoni Market! The apartment is compact & cozy. There's literally a wonderful coffee shop next door and several doors down, a great bakery. After a month traveling & staying in a variety of places, this was by far the easiest apartment to access, thanks to new technology on smart phones. Mar was incredibly responsive to any questions we had, whether about the apartment or where to eat. We would definitely stay here again!

Barcelona Hideaway
If you are traveling alone or as a duo and want an off-the-beaten-track place, check this place out. In a quiet residential area of Barcelona, definitely not in main tourist zones, but definitely walkable to many markets, restaurants and shops. Mostly accurate on listing, except issues with not enough hot water for shower. No first aid kit and AC leaked on shop below, so had to put a pot under it to catch water and apologize to store owner. Communications with owner good, but nothing resolved during stay, except hopefully all fixed for next person. Owner said you have to take very short shower; turn off water, soap up and then turn on to rinse off, but even then I ran out of hot water. If you want paper towels, you have to buy your own or only use leftovers from last visitor. Washer and dryer worked great. Kitchen had all that I needed. Nice little balcony. Unit is on "first floor" --which is second floor to USA- and NO elevator. There were 23 steps to get up to first floor unit. Liked check in (solo, no one there) and used app to open street and apartment doors. OK place.

Delivered as Promised
The studio is exactly as Mar describes it. It looks a bit small in the picture, but that is not the case. It's quite roomy and well planned with good storage for clothes and your other necessities. The location is great. It has numerous bakeries, cafes, grocery stores, and shopping adventures surrounding the apartment. Mar goes above and beyond her hosting duties. She recommended local restaurants attractions and even reserved a taxi for me to the airport for the morning I was leaving. I highly recommend the apartment and location. I will definitely stay with Mar in her studio apartment should I find myself again in Barcelona.

Our first time in Barcelona and the apartment was just right for us to explore the city. The Sant Antoni neighborhood is safe and close to everything including the Metro and transit to take us to all the sights of the city. Mel, our host was very quick on directions for arrival & checkin and continued to communicate with us on anything we needed. Thank you very much for hosting us. Albert & Donna

Beautiful Apartment in a Perfect Location
The apartment is updated and modern, with AC and new appliances. The neighborhood (Sant Antoni) is central to Barcelona-- a good base to explore this wonderful city-- relaxed, with good restaurants and bars, and with a friendly atmosphere. The owner (Mar) is a very special person-- a good communicator in English or Spanish-- helpful, considerate, and attentive.

Great Space, Excellent Management, in a Fantastic Location!
The stay was perfect! Management was incredibly communicative, friendly, and helpful with great suggestions for getting situated, getting around, and places to explore. The apartment was very clean, comfortable, and well-outfitted, and is in a great safe area. It's close to the metro, quality eateries, nice local shops, and the impressive Sant Antoni market next door. The perfect starting point for our adventures and a perfect space to unwind at the end of the day. Would strongly recommend and would stay again!!

Cozy apartment in a great location to explore Barcelona
This was our first time in Barcelona and we really enjoyed our stay. We were there for a week and felt very comfortable with the size of the apartment which feels bigger than it looks in the pictures. There is a small balcony, but I did get to sit out there in the morning and evenings a few times. One of the really great things with this apartment is the location which is literally right across the street from Mercat de Sant Antoni but also there is also a very large Lidl supermarket below the Mercat. That combination is super convenient. Then you add that there are great cafes right on the same streams the apartment and tons of restaurants in the area, you have great things in the neighborhood. It is then very easy to get to the more touristic places by walking, metro or bus.
