subject: The Main Places To Look For Your Accommodation In Barcelona [print this page] When you are searching for a place to stay in Barcelona, accommodation can be difficult to find for the right price, as you can end up paying too much for things that are not important.
You only need a simple well located apartment which is fully functioning and accessible for everyone. Vacation rental in Barcelona are spread all over the city as there in no single "best area". The city is very well connected by its metro and bus systems so you should be picking your holiday apartment from a personal point of view.
If you rather be on a busy street with a buzzing nightlife, you probably want to stay near Catalunya in the city centre. The Ramblas will be right at you door step with the area of Rival, Gothic and Borne to either side of the main street. During the day you are surrounded by all sorts of shops, from the conventional high street chains to the little souvenir shops with infinite tapas places if you need a snack But if you would rather have everything you could want in one building you have the Corte Ings (Barcelona's Selfridges) just in Plaza Catalunya.
On the other hand if you would prefer to find your vacation rental in a more residential area then Eixample and Gracia are a better bet. Filled with understated restaurants and bars they have a mush more authentic Spanish feel about them and Gracia especially has a real community spirit and local feel.
Do not forget to make sure that you have checked your Barcelona apartment out for all the necessities. Air conditioning is a must even out of season as it can still be very hot. If you are with family make sure the flat suits your dynamic and if you are renting a top floor apartment you have to make sure there is a lift!
Barcelona is a perfect holiday for anyone from families and friends to couples or even on your own. Enjoy a fun packed, stress free holiday with a typical Barcelona apartment.
