The Library I Charming 1 Bedroom Apartment in El Born
Summary:

It is situated right next to El Parc de la Ciutadella, Barcelona's main park, plus The Gothic Quarter and the seafront area of La Barceloneta are also located within walking distance.
The Space:
This 540 sq ft / 50 sqm apartment offers a fully equipped kitchen with all appliances you might need during your stay, including a dishwasher, a washer-dryer machine, a Nespresso coffee machine and a countertop oven amongst others. The bedroom is furnished with a queen-size bed, chair and spacious closet whilst the bathroom offers a rainfall shower. The living/dining room boasts a wonderful balcony overlooking the lively street below and provides a comfortable couch (can be converted into sofa bed), Smart TV, music & projector system, air conditioning as well as a colorful wall library which lends itself to the name of this unique apartment.
