Location
The building is located in a quiet, residential area in upper Barcelona. A direct, fully accessible train connection is in front of the building and will take you within 15 minutes to Las Ramblas and Plaza Cataluña. Bars, restaurants and supermarket are located within a stones throw.
Access
One visitor to Barcelona described it as "the most accessible city in Spain we have visited and we plan to return again and again as it was a pleasure to be in a place so full of historical buildings and yet so much energetic innovation going on." Most of the pavements are ramped, even in the old Barri Gotic. There are plenty accessible buses with a ramp that comes down easily to floor level allowing for easy access. Most of the bars and cafes have a small step or a ramp and the new waterfront area with the Rambla del Mar is accessible as is much of the Eixample district above Placa Catalunya.

Read All ReviewsWonderful wheelchair accessible apartment. There is a number of apartments to Select from lik 1, 2 or 3 bedrooms with en-suite bathroom, kitchen and living area. There is also 24-hour service if required, adapted gym, physiotherapist, hydrotherapy pool, a range of equipment (such as hoists) and a lovely restaurant. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Fully adapted and purpose-built accommodation for people with disabilities. The roll-in shower was accessible for a shower wheelchair. There was also a folding shower seat attached to the wall if you prefer to use that instead.
