A breezy Barcelona apartment in L'Antiga Esquerra de l'Eixample, where ornate period ceilings lend the living space a certain charm that coastal-themed decor and a characterful record player only add to. Open the balcony doors and you're looking out over tree-lined streets, with the city's rhythm drifting up from below. The bedroom sits behind elegant double doors, calm and softly lit – a proper retreat after a day out. Passeig de Gràcia is around seventeen minutes' walk, and Gaudí's Sagrada Família is reachable by metro.
