A cosy retreat in Barcelona’s El Poblenou neighbourhood, this apartment may be compact but it has everything you need for a perfectly comfortable city stay. Wood floors, bright white walls and contemporary decor make a welcome impression in the open-plan living area. Start your mornings with a Spanish omelette at the kitchen table, or better yet, step out into the private patio garden for an alfresco coffee and breakfast to start any day on a sunny note. After a day spent on nearby Platja de la Mar Bella, exploring El Poblenou’s tapas bars and hip cafes or getting your fill of Gaudí masterpieces, come back home for a glass of wine on the patio, followed by a restful night’s sleep in the garden-facing bedroom.

Home truths
This home is on the ground floor of the building
There's no desk here, but the dining table can double up as a laptop-friendly workspace if needed
This apartment faces its own small patio garden, so there isn't an abundance of natural light
Out of respect for the neighbours, please keep noise levels to a minimum at all times
The building's entrance is shared with the other residents
We recommend skipping the car here and exploring Barcelona on foot or by public transport instead

Local guide
About El Poblenou
El Poblenou is on the rise. Nested between the beach and the old town, it’s a fusion of old and new architecture, quickly becoming the technological heart of Barcelona. It’s a lot more tranquil than most parts of the city, but its list of attractions is growing fast. Scattered between buzzing shops that embrace its rough-luxe feel are some of the most loved and recommended eateries in the whole city. The closer you get to the beach, the more they turn into more traditional tapas restaurants and bars that let you mingle with the locals and travellers alike.
