Neat and practical, this nifty studio is situated in the heart of Eixample. Its terrace looks out at a 19th-century water tower, which might not be one of the city’s most iconic landmarks but serves as a nice backdrop to a cosy cocktail evening. If you fancy a change of scenery, though, you’re within easy reach of Gaudí’s Casa Batlló, as well as Plaça de Catalunya where you’ll find plenty of shops and cafés to while away the day. And while the kitchen’s slightly limited, this home is surrounded by tonnes of bustling bars and restaurants, so you won’t have to venture far for a bite of something delicious to eat.

Home truths
This is a studio apartment, so would be best suited to couples or solo travellers. If you’re visiting with a little one though, your host can provide a cot for free upon request.
While we love the open layout, the interior doesn’t get much natural light.
Given the home’s location, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
Toiletries aren’t provided, so you’ll need to bring your own. If you want to stock up on arrival, there’s a supermarket just a few steps away.
Parking in Barcelona can be tricky, so we recommend walking or using public transport where possible. There are several metro and bus stops nearby, plus Plaça de Catalunya is just a five-minute walk.
