Ask the host anything
Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Even if we didn't know this home's location, we'd be inclined to say that 'it's so El Born'. Unique art and furniture capture the neighbourhood's character, so you won't notice much difference between the chic interior and the many trendy tapas bars dotted around the nearby streets. La Baule Gallery has some lovely design assets, such as the exposed brick walls, stone columns enhanced with iron beams, and other industrial details that highlight the high-quality furnishings. There aren't many entertainment options – but in this neighbourhood, you won't be bored.

Home truths
There's only space for five guests at the dining table
The second bathroom is on the smaller side
You can sometimes hear noise from upstairs – we found out the hard way that the neighbours are musically inclined
The glass bricks between the master bathroom and the dining area are transparent – there are obvious privacy concerns
There are several steps leading to the elevator – those with limited mobility or heavy suitcases beware

Local guide
About Gothic Quarter
Gothic Quarter is a true tourist hotspot, filled with shops and famous attractions on every corner. During the day, urban explorers fill its narrow, stone-paved streets, admiring the neo-Gothic sights – but it’s the night that sees the Quarter truly come to life. Home to some of the city’s most popular restaurants, bars, and quirky shops that stay open till late, the vibrant area is popular among young travellers and party-goers seeking the best Barcelona has to offer.
Explore the area
Local restaurants, cafes, museums, sites and activities, recommended by our community of hosts and travel experts
Visit the Cathedral of Barcelona
A picture perfect example of Gothic architecture and one of Barcelona's greatest sights. As beautiful on the inside as it is on the outside.
Pay a visit to the Arco de Triunfo
This arch was built as the main access point during the 1888 Barcelona World Fair and has remained a popular tourist attraction ever since.
Go for a boat ride at Parc de la Ciutadela
This is probably the greenest oasis in all of Barcelona. Created as the city's first public park in the mid 19th Century, it's a lovely place to while away an afternoon.
Eat brunch outside at Brunch & Cake by The Sea
Everything at Brunch & Cake is made by hand, and their slogan is 'In grandmothers we trust!' There's lots of outdoor space, so it's the ideal spot for a coffee or snack in the sun.
Connect with your wild side at the zoo
Barcelona Zoo is located in the Parc de la Ciutadella. Probably most famous for having been home to Snowflake, the only known albino gorilla.
Experience a true Catalan tavern at La Xampanyeria
The speciality of La Xampanyeria is Cava – the house bottle won't break the bank, and you can accompany your sparkling wine selections with typical tapas. A must do in the city!
Pay a visit to Elsa & Fred
Located down a narrow alleyway, you’ll discover a bustling little place with great service, a fun atmosphere and delicious food.
Experience a Brunch with Latin vibe at The Benedict
The Benedict proposes one of the best brunch in Barcelona. Its speciality is, of course, Benedict eggs, but on the menu you will find lots of different dishes with Latin roots.
Discover the beauty of Santa Maria del Mar
This imposing basilica in the Ribera district was built at the height of Principality of Catalonia's maritime and mercantile preeminence – an outstanding example of Catalan Gothic architecture.
Choose your dinner at La Paradeta
The motto is: Sail away with us! This unique cross between a fish market and a restaurant, and it doesn't get much fresher than that. Come and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere and great service.
Go for vermut and tapas at Bormuth
With a great atmosphere and a great selection of tapas, Bormuth is a great place to go for a drink and snack.
Enjoy Traditional Tapas at El Xampanyet
Cozy bar with a buzzing vibe offering traditional tapas, cava, and wine. Amazing food, friendly staff, and a great variety of dishes to choose from. Highly recommended for a taste of traditional Barcelona.
