Old Town Apartments participates in the international apartment rental association called ApartmentsApart.com. The apartment that we rented was called Sol B 4 and was located here:http://tinyurl.com/mov6hg, Calle Pere Serafi 1. The link for the apartment is here: . This apartment is located literallly across the street from north border of the Eixample area. It is within walking distance of Casa Mil? and a good walk to the Rambla. It took us (and by us I mean wife, 4.75 and 1.5 year old son, and me) 10 minutes to walk to the Metro and 5 minutes to walk to the bus stop going south and 1 minute to the bus stop going north. We had two grocery stores within 5 minutes, cafes, bakery, butcher, restaurants, gelato, La Placa del Sol all less than 5 minutes walking distance. Essentially, this apartment is in the heart of one of the central residential areas of Barcelona - the area is called Garcia - and it is a beautiful area.
The apartment is Sol B 4 and if you look at the webpage, apartmentsapart.com, you can see that the apartment is completely new. It is a wonderful apartment. We ate most of our dinners there and all of our breakfasts there. The apartment is large and open. The kitchen has everything you could need to cook, the window blinds are all electrical and controlled from 'light switches'. This can be dangerous for kids because the windows have no barriers, and therefore I recommend that whenever the kids are sleeping to go to the circuit breaker near the front door and shut off the power to the window blinds. There was one extremely minor defect in this apartment: the molding on the kitchen door was broken making the closing of the kitchen door impossible.
