Stylish and practical in equal measure, this apartment in El Putxet i el Farró earns its keep on atmosphere alone. The balcony is our favourite spot to unwind, a glass of sangria and tapas at the ready. The neighbourhood is one of the city's quieter corners, with leafy streets that reward an evening wander. Gaudí's Casa Vicens is around fifteen minutes' walk away, and Park Güell a little further at twenty. A metro station is also within easy reach, making it just as easy to explore the rest of the city.

Home truths
Air conditioning is only available in the living room, not the bedrooms.
The nearest metro stations are on two different lines – Putxet on Line 7 and Vallcarca on Line 3. Both give you solid access to central Barcelona, though neither is on the more central Lines 1 or 2, so a journey into the old town will involve at least one change.
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 need help finding alternatives, please contact our Matchmaking Team.
This home can't be rented for business travel.

About Gràcia
Gracia once was a separate town from Barcelona, and although that’s no longer the case, it still retains its unique feel. This cool neighbourhood is a maze of narrow streets and relaxed squares.
