Eixample in Barcelona
 
I've been to Brcelona coule times but never stayed in Eixample. As I look at apartments it seems many are listed right or left Eixample. What's the difference?
Any suggestions for an apt rental? Price range ~$150-$175 for 2 people.

check Habitatapartments.com
Example is a big area..left or right, you want to be close to
Paseo de Gracia.

Assuming you have the address put it into google and see where it is on the map in relation to the sites you want to visit. You can also use street view to see the area. Just check the date on the pics

Look at the apartments offered by DestinationBCN. Two of us were very happy in their Ghost apartment a few years ago. Ghost has two bedrooms but they offer other, smaller rentals, too.

Just make sure there is a HUT number and it is allocated to the property.

We've rented from DestinationBCN as well. We rented a one bedroom Finn. We were happy with the apartment and the location.

Thank you!
I am looking at Destination BCN and Finn is one that I'm interested in. Glad to hear its a good location. Also looking at Habitat who I think we booked with last trip 5 years ago.

Yes, their apts do have HUT #s.

Finn is in a perfect location!

Just across the street from the university dating back to 1450, next door to Ca l'Estevet, my favourite small and local cuisine restaurant in Barcelona, and two minutes walk to the start of Carrer Aribau, perhaps the coolest street in town. World class bars, great cafés and tapas bars, a very pretty street with perhaps the best upscale and local atmosphere nightlife in Barcelona.

Dry Martini in Carrer Aribau is one of the finest bars in Europe: https://www.worldsbestbars.com/bar/b...ry-martini-bar

And you are also very close to quirky but fabulous Chinese/Taiwanese restaurant Son Hao. I must always have a meal here when in Barcelona. https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaura...Catalonia.html

I looked at DestinationBCN and thought they all looked lovely. I ended up staying in a B&B owned by two young guys who had several B&B flats close to each other in Eixample. I was really happy with mine and it was somewhere around 100E if I recall for a big room and big bathroom, and the run of the whole flat. I can look them up if you are still interested.

Thanks, flygirl, we booked Finn with Destination BCN.
