Sitting right on Plaça Catalunya, this penthouse apartment puts you at the beating heart of Barcelona before you've even stepped outside. The rooftop terrace is the real reward – up here, the city unfolds around you, and it connects directly to the living room, making it easy to drift between the two. The city view bedroom carries that same outlook into your mornings. Passeig de Gràcia, Casa Batlló, and La Rambla are all within a ten-minute walk, while three nearby metro stations make it easy to explore the rest of the city.

Home truths
This is a two-level apartment – one bedroom sits on the lower level, with the main bedroom, kitchen, living area, and terrace above it. The internal staircase is narrow and includes a sharp turn, so it's worth keeping that in mind if you have heavy luggage or anyone in your group has mobility considerations.
The water pressure in the showers can be low.
Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for little ones upon request.

As you wander the streets, you’ll quickly come to see why this is the case. The dazzling array of architecture on display is like no other, from the modernist masterpieces of Antoni Gaudí and the winding alleyways in the Gothic Quarter to the visionary residential blocks...
