Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This apartment is ideal for those keen to drop off their bags and head out into Barcelona to explore. The second bedroom is cosy, but has everything needed for a comfortable night’s sleep, and for quiet nights in, the well-equipped kitchen will have you whipping up Spanish feasts in no time. That said, with a host of eateries on your doorstep, dining out will be on the menu. Locally, it’s just six minutes on foot to Plaça de Catalunya or ten minutes to the Arc de Triomf.

Home truths
Parking in Barcelona can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible.
Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot for free. You'll need to request it in advance.
Single beds are pushed together in the second bedroom to form a double. This bedroom is on the small side, however, it has everything you need for a comfortable night's sleep.
This apartment overlooks neighbouring homes. The views aren't the most inspiring and it lacks a little privacy.
