LODGING APARTMENTS LICEU G2, Barcelona

Liceu Metro station (Green Line) is a few minutes away, and Plaza Catalunya - with its Aerobus to the airport, metro lines, and trains - is about 1 km from the apartment. Within walking distance are Boqueria Market (5 minutes), the Picasso Museum, the Cathedral of Barcelona, and the Palau de la Musica Catalana. The nearest beach, Sant Miquel, is 2 km away. The area is also well served by bakeries, supermarkets, and restaurants; a 24-hour pharmacy is around the corner. The apartment's central yet slightly set-back street keeps it quieter than the busiest tourist thoroughfares.

The apartment is recently refurbished with clean, modern interiors that match the listing photos. The bathroom is a standout feature: large, stylish, and freshly renovated, with a shower and free toiletries. The separate bedroom has a double bed, and the living room contains a sofa bed that is both spacious and comfortable for two older children or adults. The living space is light-filled thanks to large windows and two small balconies - one Catalan balcony ideal for smoking (smoking inside is not allowed). The apartment is air-conditioned and has a heater in the bedroom for cooler months. Extra touches include a stock of coffee capsules, tea, olive oil, salt, pepper, washing-up supplies, and a welcome rose for St George's Day.

The kitchen is fully stocked with cookware, utensils, an electric kettle, a refrigerator, and plenty of dishes and glassware - including a corkscrew and olive oil. Basic supplies such as coffee, tea, salt, and pepper are provided, so you can prepare a meal without an immediate shop. The neighbourhood is full of restaurants; among those within a 5-minute walk are Bar Canete, Les Quinze Nits, and Guell Tapas, as well as several Indian, brunch, and tapas options. Bakeries such as 365 Boulangerie are also just steps away for breakfast pastries or bread.

While the property itself has no on-site leisure amenities, the apartment's position near La Rambla, Boqueria Market, and the Gothic Quarter means galleries, shops, and landmarks are within a short walk. Boating activities are available in the surroundings. The beach (Sant Miquel, 2 km) is a 30-minute walk or a short metro ride away.
