(pt) Stylish 1-bedroom apartment for rent near Goya Theater in El Raval

(pt) This warm 1-bedroom apartment to rent on Carrer de Joaquín Costa is like a perfect little getaway in the midst of a big city. Wood floors and exposed wooden beam ceilings in the open-space equipped kitchen, dining and living area have a country feel. However, there are two beautiful French doors that open to balconies, allowing natural light to spill into the apartment during the day, and the city lights give the area a cosmopolitan feel at night. There is a roomy modern bathroom with a shower and the double bed is so bulky you could just fall right in and fall instantly asleep, only to wake up refreshed for a coffee on the balcony before starting your day again.

A former red light district, the streets of El Raval probably hide a lot of secrets, although they might be tough to find these days. The area was cleaned up and gentrified in the mid-90s, and now it’s an area bustling with tourists and an eclectic artsy local population. The Museum of Contemporary Art is only 3 minutes away, but you’re likely to uncover some lovely galleries and other arty gems as you explore the neighborhood. You will definitely find some great cafés, as well as tapas and cocktail bars, and there is a Carrefour supermarket 5 minutes away. Of course, La Boqueria is only a 10-minute walk, so you might prefer to do your shopping there!
