Are there different apartments of different sizes?
Barcelona ApartmentsIn general, the apartments in Barcelona
are quite small, especially in the oldest parts of the city (the Gothic
Quarter, the Raval, Born and Barceloneta), where the houses are almost always
smaller and more traditional.
On the contrary, in the most modern neighborhoods of the
city, such as L'Eixample, Sagrada Familia, Vila OlĂmpica and Sants you will
find more spacious apartments.
When comparing the apartments, always check if the
description includes a map of the accommodation and the number of m 2 to have
an exact idea of the measurements (do the calculations in the metric system,
better than in the imperial one!). 20-30m 2 could be enough for a couple for a
weekend, although a group of four people would need at least 50-60 m 2 to be
comfortable.
How do we sleep?
It is very common to see apartment ads that highlight the
number of people that can be accommodated in it: "For six people",
however, does not always mean that there are six beds - some will have to stay
in the living room sofa-bed.
To avoid the uncomfortable question of, then, who sleeps on
the couch? it is best to know in advance the number of beds and their
arrangement.
Do all apartment buildings in Barcelona have a lift?
More and more elevators are being installed in the buildings
of Barcelona, and now they are quite common throughout the city, but many old
buildings simply do not have the space to do so.
This can be a problem, since a floor on the first floor in
Barcelona is not always on the first floor. Actually, you could say that you
have to climb three floors to get to the apartment.
If you travel with children, elderly people or people who
can not climb stairs when it is very hot, use the filter in your searches on
our website to ensure you have an elevator.
