Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Set in vibrant El Fort Pienc, fringing the neighbourhoods of El Born, Eixample, and Sagrada, you’ve got all of the city’s hotspots at your feet from this smart apartment. It’s worth noting that the second bedroom feels snug compared to that whopper of a king-sized main room. Though the separate shower rooms for each bedroom are a bonus if you need to speed mornings along. While the floor-to-ceiling Juliet balcony doors are impressive, there’s no outside space to sit out here. But with Barcelona’s leafy Parc de la Ciutadella just a stroll away, we don’t think you’ll mind.

Home truths
Since the photoshoot, the second bedroom has been updated with a double bed. We are awaiting new photographs of this space, but expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home. It’s also worth noting the second bedroom is quite small with limited storage space. However, it has everything you need for a comfortable night's sleep.
This home is located within an apartment building with a shared entrance. Expect to bump into other guests during your stay.
Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
