Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
You're never from Barcelona's bustle at this smart bolthole set in a quiet residential pocket of the Eixample neighbourhood. The century-old shops, small bars, and cafes of the Gothic Quarter are all just a stroll away, and Urgel Metro is a short walk if you need to be someplace fast. Back home, the outdoor terrace for sundowners is a bonus. As is the dedicated office for anyone planning to work or study. It's worth noting that the second bedroom sleeps just one guest – but there's ample storage space, and you'll have direct access to the private terrace outside.
