Welcome to a FridaysFlats experience!

If you’re here for the city

This is the city center. Barcelona is a vibrant place, with its contagious exuberance constantly spilling out onto small streets and cute Plaças packed with cafes, bars and local designer shops. Take yourself for a wander down the iconic La Rambla, an eclectic kilometer of restaurants, bars, cultural venues, street vendors, convenience stores, fashion boutiques and just about anything else you can think of. Explore palaces, history rich sites like Plaça Reial, admire street performers and avoid flower sellers. There’s an El Corte Inglés department store, in the heart of the city: Plaça Catalunya.
A notable stop on La Rambla is its famous Boqueria, a fresh-food market with over 300 stalls that sell produce, meats, cheeses, fish, seafood, nuts, fresh juices and many other incredibly delicious things to munch on. There’s also a local food school where local chefs and sommeliers share their wisdom.

If you’re here for the beach

Stroll past Plaça Reial, and stop for a beer or coffee (or, as the locals would say, “both”) under the shade of its old palm trees. Contemplate the gothic architecture around Barcelona’s 800 years old Cathedral, all covered in gargoyles. See Columbus’s statue, admire the yachts in the marina and stroll through the Barceloneta streets onto the nearest beaches for the Mediterranean vibe. Elegant colonial buildings surround you. Shadowy arches. High windows. Fading wooden shutters. Travel back in time as you wander the narrow streets. The buildings lean overhead, almost touching.

If you’re here for nature

Parc Guell, Parc de Ciutadella and many other locations such as Montjuic or Tibidabo are easily accessible by metro, bus or taxi. There are many places where you can enjoy the beauty of nature, wild colored flowers or fragrant bushes. Just to visit all the attractions of Montjuic could easily take you a week. Here you can find not one but two wondrous botanical gardens, one of them a picture perfect cactus reservation that’s one of the natural wonders of Barcelona, The Fundacio Miro, The Poble Espanyol, The Theatre Grec, Palau Sant Jordi or the former Olympic village are only some of the attractions on Montjuic, but neither rivals the panoramic view of the city and the sea you will get from up there.

If you’re here for shopping

Shop ‘til you drop! Or maybe not that much, but still, find local designers and cute boutique stores plus the big Corte Ingles within walking distance, or start on Portal del Angel and walk towards Passeig de Gracia / Rambla de Catalunya. If you’re looking for something more upscale, go to the Corte Ingles on Diagonal, or to Diagonal Mar, Europe’s biggest luxury shopping mall.
Pro tip: You’ll love the boutiques on Carrer d’Avinyó. At Number 7 you’ll find La Manual Alpargatera. It sells espadrille-inspired shoes. It’s whispered they cut their colours from a real rainbow. Grey-purple-green? No problem.

If you’re here for museums

Rest assured, all the adjoining neighbourhoods like Gothic, Born and Raval are full of museums, monuments and interesting cultural venues like Museo de la Marina, MACBA (for Contemporary Art) or the Catalan Cultural Center, plus some fun and interesting stuff for kids of all ages (Big Fun Museum and Museum of Illusions or the Wax Museum). The Gran Teatre del Liceu (Opera) is also a few steps away, on La Rambla. Bonus, everything is within walking distance

Welcome to a FridaysFlats experience!

Thanks to its close to the city center location, this flat is easily reachable from the airport by train (20 minutes), shuttle bus (A1 or A2 in Plaça Catalunya, taxi (if you want to enjoy the views) or metro (Plaça Catalunya lines L1, L3, L6, L7).

Welcome to a FridaysFlats experience!

Perfect for 3 people, this spacious flat consists of one master bedroom with a double bed plus a generous and bright living area that turns into a resting area at night, since another guest can comfortably sleep on a single bed.
The sofa and the dinner table provide a great hang-out space where plans can be made and adventures can be plotted.

Since it’s close to everything and perfectly communicated through public transport to all the areas of Barcelona where you can see, taste, experience or photograph anything remarkable, this place is ideal for the explorers that will spend most of their time outdoors. We say “ideal” because after all the effort of being a tourist (which is a tiring albeit pleasurable experience), you will get to come home to a clean and carefully decorated place that is perfect for napping or resting.

But don’t trust us, trust the reviews. If you will look at what our previous guests have said, you will get confirmation that this place is as cute, clean and centric as we claim.

Fully equipped kitchen, electric stove, microwave, washing machine, dishwasher – all the commodities of modern life are at your disposal.

You have arrived! Where, you ask? In the Centre, we answer!

Don’t trust us, trust our reviews 🙃 it doesn’t get more central than this 3 person flat (fitted with 1 double bed & 1 single). If you want to be hosted right near Barcelona’s KM 0, pick this property and enjoy the incredible amount of space inside, plus how crazy-centric it is when you leave the flat. You know what else is crazy? How quiet it can be inside, which is why everyone loves this apartment’s combo of serenity plus location.

There is only one AC unit in the living room.

Travelling by car?

If you are planning on driving to Barcelona, rest assured we’ll help you park your car safely. We typically recommend booking your parking spot ahead of time online, and offer a discount via parclick.

Is this a work trip?

Our apartments are equipped with reliable, fiber optic WI-FI and offer a very comfortable setup to work from home. Well, as comfortable as working can be 😇.
