Spacious, heterogeneous duplex (350 m2) in the heart of Barcelona
Hi! We live in a spacious, 350m2 duplex (including the top floor with therrace) in the heart of Gothic neighborhood in Barcelona, within the historic roman perimeter. The house is divided in two flats connected by a staircase, both flats connecting separately also to the building elevator. The decoration is very heterogeneous, as a result of how we have worked on different areas at different periods of our life, resulting in an astonishing combination of atmospheres that we hope you will enjoy. There are two double bedrooms and two bathrooms in each floor, as well as separate fully equipped kitchens, as you'll see in the pictures attached. Please note that we can close the internal staircase dividing the two apartments, allowing us to offer only the entire house or, if your group is not that large, only the upstairs flat or the downstairs flat and still offering complete privacy, giving us a lot of flexibility in arranging both simultaneous and non-simultaneous exchanges.

About Our Family
We are Jordi and Marta, married for almost 30 years, and our three sons: Roc (22) just graduated from Aerospace Engineering and works in consultancy; Marcel (21) is a professional cyclist racing at ProTour level for Q36.5 pro-cylcing team; and Nico (19) is starting the architecture degree. We all love to travel and are very sporty, as well as adventure and cultural activities. Jordi is in finance, currently as a freelance, and I (Marta) run a chemical distribution family business that my father started with my brother.
Lifestyle
We are a family with a lot of plans but short time to do them because we haven’t flexible timetable. We live really in downtown, next to Las Ramblas and close to the sea. We can go walking to most part of museums, theatres, the opera, … and we try to profit them as much possible during the week. At weekend we use to go to a country house in Costa Brava, to the north coast near France, if I’m not going to do mountain sky.

FR1002701Très bel appartement idéalement situé dans le quartier gothique de Barcelone

Highland, USA
US50378This was a spacious apartment in the heart of old Barcelona. It was well located for most of the activities that we wanted to participate in. The family was very accommodating and anxious to serve us in any way they could.
