Located in the heart of Barcelona, in the Esquerra de l’Eixample neighbourhood, this apartment is well-positioned to explore everything that the city has to offer. Begin your days here with breakfast at the kitchen’s bar or take advantage of a warm, sunny morning and head out onto the terrace to enjoy the views with your café con leche and churros. Use the dedicated workstation to catch up on your emails or any last-minute deadlines, and then plan your day ahead. Admire Gaudí’s architecture at Casa Battló and Casa Milà – which are reachable by foot in twenty-two and twenty-five minutes, respectively. Visit the Gothic Quarter – which is just twenty-one minutes away on public transport – and see the amazing Cathedral of Barcelona. Or even spend the day at Barcelona city beach – which is a thirty-nine-minute journey on public transport. When you’re tired from a busy day of exploring and sightseeing, settle yourself on the sofa or curl up in the comfort of the Papasan chair. Whether you choose to read a good book as the sun floods in through the glass doors or whether you want to enjoy a film is entirely up to you. For dinner, why... not go shopping at Boqueria market – just a twenty-nine-minute walk away – and pick up some local produce, or sample ones of the many tapas bars and cocktail bars – some of which can be reached in as little as twelve minutes on foot.
