Ideally located in Barcelona’s Eixample Esquerra neighbourhood, this apartment puts you in a prime position to visit Gaudí’s many architectural wonders and the best of the city’s cultural hotspots. Modern and light inside, you’ll find a desk space for remote working in the living area and Juliet balconies in the bedroom, which also boasts plenty of storage so you won’t have to skimp on your packing. Best of all, the apartment has a private terrace equipped with outdoor seating – perfect for enjoying alfresco breakfasts and glasses of Spanish wine each evening. While the kitchen is on the small side and you're likely to hear some street noise given the home's central position, this city pad is hard to beat location-wise and with its private outdoor space.
