Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
You’ll find this apartment in the heart of Sant Gervasi – Galvany, known for its upscale bakeries and bistros. Casa Vicens Gaudí – a UNESCO World Heritage Site – is just a short stroll away and the rest of Barcelona’s must-sees are within easy reach. While the living space isn’t huge – at full occupancy it will be a bit of a squeeze – we like the calming decor here. It’s worth noting that only the living room has air conditioning, so summer nights might be too hot for some.

Home truths
Air conditioning is only available in the living room.
The dining table seats four so isn’t big enough to accommodate everyone when the home is at full capacity.
Two of the double beds are pushed against a wall, so can’t be accessed from the far side.
If you're travelling for work, you’ll find a laptop-friendly desk in one of the bedrooms.
Parking in Barcelona can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible.
This host requires your check-in to be within 3-5 days from when the last booking ends. If you are unsure if your dates will work or for help finding alternatives, please contact our Matchmaking Team.
Please note that the building amenities such as the pool and gym may have specific hours of operation and might not be available year-round.

Local guide
About Salamanca
Salamanca is Madrid’s most glamorous and prestigious quarter. Usually associated with aristocratic façades, wide avenues, and luxurious living (atypical for Madrid’s cosy centre), the neighbourhood attracts domestic and international elite. It’s also home to many embassies and private schools, as well as niche museums and designer boutiques along its ‘Golden Mile’. The demanding clientele has made the food scene equally exclusive, but while you’re likely to find quite a few Michelin-star restaurants in the area, there are lots of relaxed tapas bars for those less willing to splash the cash.
