This compact little Barcelona bolthole makes a fantastic base to explore the vibrant city. Set in a residential area, you get a taste of local living without the bustle of tourists. And "taste" is the watchword, with wine bars, local restaurants and coffee shops lining the tree-filled boulevards just outside your door. The central thoroughfare of La Rambla is a twenty-five-minute walk, or an easy hop on the metro from nearby Rocafort station. This puts Barcelona’s biggest sights; Parc Guell, Sagrada de Familia, and the winding alleys of the Gothic Quarter within striking distance. The design of this home is simple and comfortable, with plenty of bright moments – like the modern art adorning the walls and colourful rugs on the hardwood floor. French-style windows bathe the dining room and living room in natural light, and open out onto a cute balcony for a cup of coffee and spot of people watching.
