They say a good home is all about location. Here in Eixample, you'll stay within walking distance of La Rambla – the most famous street in central Barcelona – as well as landmarks like Plaça de Catalunya. Closer to home, you'll find a variety of bars and restaurants on your doorstep, perfect for those seeking a city break with a bustling atmosphere. The apartment's laid-back living space caters to downtime with a smart TV and a record player. We love that the separate office even makes it a winner for business trips. Pets are even welcome to tag along for an additional fee, too.
