CARABASSA Apartment

This apartment is unique to say the least.

It’s located on Plaza George Orwell, a square named after the British writer, who lived in Barcelona between 1936 and 1937.

Your future home, which lies on the fourth floor of a building with no lift, has been exquisitely restored. Its extensive spaces retain their original wooden floors, cement tiles, Catalan vaulted ceilings, some of its bare brick walls, and even the remains of a decorative mural.

The hugely welcoming lounge has two balcony doors that let the light flood in and offer views of the square. There’s a sofa, a reading area with two large, comfy armchairs, and a small side room – closed off by glass doors – where you can eat, work, have meetings and take video calls.

Doubling up as the entrance hall, the kitchen has been fully refurbished in warm wood tones and adjoins a small room with a high table and stools where, as an alternative to the lounge, you can have breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Both bedrooms are doubles, one with an ensuite bathroom and shower. There’s another bathroom by the front door. It too has a shower.

Now that we’ve had a good look around the apartment, let’s show you everything the surrounding area has to offer.

The apartment is located in the oldest district of Barcelona, the Barri Gòtic. This lively area is packed with street artists and musicians, small shops selling antiques, craftwork and eye-catching designer pieces, and cosy restaurants, tapas bars and cafés where you can enjoy churros con chocolate.

Visit the Cathedral of Barcelona, the city’s ancient Roman walls. the Museum of Catalan History, Plaça del Pi with its beautiful church – a regular concert venue – the medieval Plaça del Rei and the Plaça de Sant Felip Neri, one of the city’s best kept secrets and regarded by the locals as the prettiest square in town.

But don’t worry about trying to do it all in one day. You’ll have 30 days or more to explore the Gothic Quarter and Barcelona as this apartment only accepts monthly rentals. 

We’re ready to welcome you. And so is your apartment. So, when are you coming?
