Barcelona Apartments: Renting a holiday flat or apartment in Barcelona can be a good accommodation option for a short holiday break. Holiday apartments are especially concentrated in central Barcelona, around the Ramblas, the Gothic district, Born, and Raval, whilst in the summer the holiday flats in Barceloneta and near the sea are very popular. Booking in advance is recommended, especially during high season or when special events take place in the city, such as trade fairs or the Sonar music festival.
Barcelona has several agencies that specialize in renting holiday flats for tourists, usually with a minimum stay of 3 days. If you rent a flat for a longer stay of a couple of weeks or months you can get a better price. These flats are fully furnished and equipped, although it’s worth checking in advance whether a supplement for sheets and cleaning will be charged. Renting a flat for the duration of your stay gives you more flexibility as you can choose to eat out or eat in, and is particularly practical if you have small children.
Barcelona apartments vary in quality and price, if your budget is towards the lower end then expectations should be modified accordingly. However, any reputable letting agency will ensure that all the basic requirements for a pleasant stay are met. Prices start from €20 per person per night, for budget accommodation. Towards the top end, luxury apartments with terraces, pools, and spectacular views can also be found in Barcelona. |
