Do you have a question about this home or the local area?

Set in a privileged spot right next to Barcelona's beloved La Sagrada Familia, this apartment is a great fit for a solo traveller visiting the city. Located in the heart of Eixample, you'll have plenty of traditional restaurants and tapas bars on your doorstep, with the popular Avinguda Gaudí Street next door. Inside, the home is bright and modern with double doors opening out to a small balcony that serves as a lovely spot for enjoying the warm Catalan weather with a drink. If you're travelling for work, you won't find a desk here, but the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace. That said, some street noise should be expected.
