Location & Accessibility

Exceptionally walkable location in central Barcelona. Major landmarks, metro stations, restaurants, and shops are all within a short stroll. Public transport is excellent, though the property itself has no onsite parking.

Public Transport

Extremely well-connected. Verdaguer metro station is just a 4-minute walk away, providing easy access to metro lines L4 and L5. Passeig de Gràcia rail station is about a 10-minute walk, connecting to regional and high-speed trains. Barcelona-El Prat Airport is approximately a 25-minute drive or accessible via the surcharge airport shuttle.

Car Considerations

No onsite parking available. The property is located within Barcelona's Low Emission Zone (LEZ); non-Spanish vehicles must be registered in advance. A car is not necessary for daily life due to the excellent walkability and public transport.

Walkability

Walk Score is exceptional (100/100). Key attractions like Casa Milà, Passeig de Gràcia, and Casa Batlló are within a 6-minute walk. Sagrada Família is about a 13-minute walk. The area is flat and perfect for exploring on foot or by rented bicycle. Taxis and ride-sharing are readily available.

Key Distances

Casa Milà: 5 min walk (0.3 mi). Passeig de Gràcia: 6 min walk (0.4 mi). Sagrada Família: 13 min walk (0.7 mi). Plaça de Catalunya: 15 min walk (0.9 mi). Verdaguer Metro Station: 4 min walk. Barcelona City Center: ~1.1 mi.

Challenges & Tips

The building has no elevator, so access to upper floors is by stairs only. Be mindful of the LEZ regulations if arriving by car. For airport transfers, pre-booking the shuttle is recommended. The lack of a 24-hour front desk means check-in requires coordination via email for access codes.
