Freshly refurbished with an eye for style, this home is in an elegant part of the city with leafy street views. Set in a character building, it's a unique blend of earthy tones, natural textures and on-trend interior design, all topped off with high ceilings, French balconies and traditional shutters. We love the living space, with its comfy furnishings, tall windows and striking design pieces. A separate kitchen (small but perfectly formed) is set up for home cooking and there's a dining table for up to four in front of the window. Perfect for a couple of friends or a small family, it's also set up with office space if you'll be working remotely during your stay. And thanks to its location, everything from big attractions to restaurants, bars and great shopping is on your doorstep.

About El Poble-Sec
El Poble-Sec is often dubbed the liveliest area in Barcelona, and rightfully so. Although it is still a bit rough around the edges, it has a booming theatre scene and an abundance of tapas restaurants and drinking dens, making a casual stroll through the area a true experience for all the senses. The vibrancy of El Poble-Sec has attracted a number of artists, creative professionals, and foodies to move here, creating a village-like atmosphere of a multicultural community that feels unlike any other in the city.
