Additional Notes from Ash 

This is definitely the best apartment option I saw in Barcelona. The property offers a good balance of privacy/independence and service, and the apartments are beautiful—cozy, spacious, modern, cool. I love that the first-floor apartments once housed the city's elite, and the rooftop pool and terrace are pretty simple but a nice perk. I shared the elevator with a family of four and asked how they enjoyed their apartment, and all (even the teens) were very enthusiastic!

Authenticity

Set in a historic 19th-century building in the Eixample neighborhood, Midtown Apartments strive to maintain the property's past as an architectural masterpiece. Featuring Modernism and Noucentisme, the building once housed some of the city's most notable families, and you'll find that reflected in the spacious main-floor apartments.

Location

Midtown Apartments allow you to stay in a more local area while still in the middle of it all! You'll be on the edge of the Eixample and El Born neighborhoods, within walking distance of numerous sites, such as the Arc de Triomf, Passeig de Gràcia, the Gothic Quarter, the Barcelona Cathedral, and the famous Bishop's Bridge.

Rooms & Bathrooms

The property features 30 apartments in multiple configurations with one-, two-, and three-bedroom options. Even one-bedroom flats are quite spacious, and all have modern furnishings, full kitchens, cozy living rooms, and floor-to-ceiling windows. Spacious two- and three-bedroom apartments come with two separate bathrooms featuring toiletries and bold-colored tiles. Opt for the main-floor flats to experience a glimpse of the building's luxurious past.

There is no gym on-site, but one perk is free access to a nearby fitness center. Midtown Apartments is accessible for wheelchair users, as you’ll find an elevator accessing all floors. 

Family-Friendliness

Families with children of all ages are welcome, and baby cribs can be provided free of charge. The apartments are large and suitable for families, with some apartments having with multiple bedrooms. Although you won’t find many amenities for families, there are some board games and puzzles you can borrow to keep the kids entertained. 

Other Highlights

As an apartment property, you won't find any common spaces here. However, guests can enjoy the rooftop pool and lounge area, an excellent perk for groups and families. Although there is no bar or restaurant on site, each room or apartment has its own kitchen, so you can prepare your own food or bring home some takeout.
