Step through the front door of this chic Barcelona apartment, and it won't take you long to realise that you've arrived in a pretty special place. The black vinyl kitchen is bursting with style, and is ideal for practising your Catalan cooking with some fresh ingredients from one of the local markets. Serve your creations in the fabulous dining area – the geometric wood panelling is custom-made – before retiring to the balcony for some after-dinner cocktails. You'll love watching the street scenes below and admiring the eclectic collection of buildings that Eixample is known for. If you're in town to work, then you can catch up on emails at the sleek workspace, but if it's fun times only then you're in an ideal location to soak up the city's lively spirit. Your first stop is sure to be the iconic Casa Batlló, just around the corner from the apartment, and the surrounding streets are full of unique boutiques, restaurants and bars. Plus, if you want to head to the old town or visit the beach, simply hop on a local bus and you'll arrive there within a quarter of an hour.
