Light and shade play off each other here to create a beautifully peaceful setting. Located in Barcelona’s central L'Esquerra de l’Eixample neighbourhood – packed full of grand architecture, art galleries, swish cafes, and luxury boutiques – you’ll have the heart of the city on your doorstep and a wonderfully comfortable base from which to enjoy it all. We love the soothing beach influences in the living area’s decor – from the earthy colour palette to the rattan accents – as well as the ample natural light that pours in through the French doors leading out onto Juliet balconies. Perch here with your morning coffee or evening glass of Spanish wine while people-watching from your privileged position. The dining table here beckons homemade tapas feasts aplenty cooked up in the modern kitchen, while the desk space provides the ideal spot to catch up on work or some creative thinking while a record plays on the sound system. The two bedrooms, meanwhile, have been curated with this same stylish boho touch, and there’s another Juliet balcony in the second bedroom so you can enjoy a hit of Spanish sun first thing in the morning. When it comes to sightseeing... nearby, walk eighteen minutes to visit Gaudí’s Casa Milà, or stroll twenty-four minutes to explore bustling Plaça de Catalunya. You’re also an eighteen-minute walk from Mercat de Sant Antoni, while Casa Batlló – another Gaudí masterpiece – is twenty minutes on foot from your door.
