Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
A perfect fit for four, this contemporary home in Barcelona’s Eixample district is an ideal base for exploring the city. One thing that caught our eye in this home was the separate office space – just the spot for remote work if you’re travelling for business. Locally, indulge in some retail therapy with a stroll along Passeig de Gràcia, soak up the sunshine at Ciutadella Park, visit the Arc de Triomf or simply enjoy tapas and sangria at one of the many Spanish eateries lining the streets below.

Home truths
There's an office here if you need to catch up on work during your stay.
The bedroom curtains here don't fully block out the sunlight. If you're hoping to enjoy a lie-in, you might want to pack an eye mask.
Since the photoshoot, there may be minor differences in furnishings seen in the photos and what you find in the apartment, as part of the host's home upkeep.
Parking in Barcelona can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible.
This host requires your check-in to be within 3-5 days from when the last booking ends. If you are unsure if your dates will work or for help finding alternatives, please contact our Matchmaking Team.
