An Eixample apartment with tall windows that pull in the Barcelona light, this is a comfortable base for the city. Front and back balconies mean there's always a spot to catch the morning air or wind down in the evening. The kitchen is relaxed enough to cook in, social enough to gather around. Best of all, the Sagrada Família is a five-minute walk away – and with the metro just two blocks from the door, the Gothic Quarter, Las Ramblas, and Barceloneta Beach are all well within reach.

Home truths
Your host operates several homes here, so the exact view, layout and furnishings might differ slightly from the photos. However, the overall quality should remain the same.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair. You'll need to request them in advance.
The apartment sits on a busy street, so you may notice some traffic noise – particularly in the rooms facing the road. The shutters do a good job of blocking out both light and sound at night, and are worth using if you're a light sleeper.

Local guide
About Sagrada Família
La Sagrada Família is the neighbourhood immediately surrounding Barcelona’s greatest and largest attraction - the Sagrada Família. As Gaudí’s opus magnum, the architectural behemoth has been in construction for over a century, and some say asking when will it be finished is the easiest way to anger a local. The immediate vicinity of the cathedral is always busy, but the rest of the area is upscale and residential, making it quieter than one would expect. The vast avenues are home to a variety of cafes, shops, and beautifully designed parks.
