Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
The combination of materials like the curved high ceilings with exposed brickwork, the micro-cement flooring and the large matte kitchen countertop give Arnau an elegant industrial feel. Although there's a noticeable lack of natural light in the bedrooms and bathrooms, the open-plan communal area more than makes up for such shortcomings. The sofa isn't the comfiest we've tested but, draped with luxurious textiles, it still adds to the home vibe. And, as the centre of the city is just eight minutes away by public transport, it's a great choice for bus families.

Home truths
Although there's a lift to take you to reach the second floor, you'll still need to climb a total of seven steps to reach the apartment – not suitable for wheelchair users
Although there is a fire alarm, without a fire extinguisher, fire blankets or first aid kit, this apartment does not score high in terms of safety
Some of the walls in the kitchen area have noticeable scuff marks
The lighting options are very limited in the second smaller bedroom
With no doors from the bedrooms each of the bathrooms, there's very little privacy for more intimate moments
As Sagrada Familia neighbourhood is fairly quiet at night with not much going on, those looking for lively nights out should look to stay closer to the city centre

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.

Go shopping mad at Glòries
Glòries used to be a well known flee market, but has since been transformed into more of a mall - there's still a flee market in one part, with upscale shops and eateries in another.
Give yourself a sweet treat at Chocofiro
Established over 30 years ago, this chocolate and candy store makes things the old fashioned way, and it tastes GOOD.
