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?
METRO: SANT JAUME
What to do?
Enjoy the extra space!
Barcelona is quieter these days, with fewer places open for business. However, it's still beautiful and vibrant, with plenty to enjoy outdoors and lots of experiences waiting for you in the city.
Don’t worry about shopping for groceries!
Every neighborhood in Barcelona has a market selling local produce (only open in the mornings) and well-stocked supermarkets like Mercadona, Sorli, Lidl and Bonpreu, which you’ll find just around the corner from your flat. So get out and grab some fresh local produce and put our fully equipped kitchen to good use by preparing a delicious meal.
Your safety is our priority!
While every professional company cleans their short-term rentals thoroughly between stays, these challenging times require special measures. Rest assured we’re taking additional precautions to disinfect properties and prevent the spread of coronavirus. We keep right up to date with the latest protocols issued by global health organizations (including the ECDC and the World Health Organization) and have a system in place called “COVID-19 Disinfection Checklist for short-term rental disinfection”. Bed linen and towels are cleaned professionally after each guest checks out, in line with the same guidelines and by the same team. We leave nothing to chance, because your safety is what matters most to us.
TRAVELING BY CAR?
If you’re planning on driving to Barcelona, rest assured we’ll help you park your car safely. We
typically recommend booking your parking spot in advance online via Parclick.

House rules
Welcome to Barcelona! We are delighted to have you with us and hope you have an amazing time
at our apartment. To make sure your trip goes smoothly, here are some basic ground rules that
we kindly ask you to follow.
Please take the neighbours into consideration
We would appreciate it if you could keep any noise to a minimum after 10pm (so no parties or
loud music, please) and to avoid letting doors slam shut or making too much noise when
entering and leaving the building. Your holiday is important to us, but so is the well-being of your
neighbours, who still need to go about their everyday lives in peace and tranquillity. Any guests
who cause a disturbance by hosting a party or such like will be asked to leave the apartment
immediately (no refund will be made in such circumstances). Please also be aware that you are
not allowed to have more guests staying at the apartment than indicated in your reservation.
Keys and check-out
Please do not leave the keys in the mailbox when vacating the apartment. If you leave earlier
than your check-out time, please leave the keys on the table and pull the door shut behind you.
The doors to most of our apartments do not need to be locked when you leave, which makes it
very easy for you to lock yourself out. To avoid this, make sure you keep the key with you
whenever you leave the apartment and lock the door yourself.
No smoking!
Smoking is not allowed in the apartment. If you have to smoke, please go outside.
Save energy
We kindly ask you to please turn the lights and air conditioning units OFF whenever you leave the
apartment.
Extras
Additional cleaning, bedding, etc. can be arranged for longer stays. Please request this when
making your booking.
Tourist tax
The government of Catalunya now levies a tourist tax of €4.40 per person over the age of 16 per
night, over a maximum of seven days. The tax helps pay for clean beaches, well-maintained
roads and excellent facilities.
Arrival
Standard check-in is from 3pm to 8pm. Though we do accommodate late arrivals, the following
fees will be charged to cover for our staff having to work late:
-Monday to Saturday:
-Sunday and holidays
These fees must be paid in cash to the Lodging Barcelona staff member during check-in.
Departure
Check-out time is 11am. If there are no other bookings on the day you depart, you can arrange to
leave your luggage in the apartment until you leave Barcelona or arrange a later check-out time.
Lost keys
A fee of €50 will be charged for the replacement of lost keys.
One last request
On your last day, please wash the dishes and take out the garbage. Thank you!
