Whether you're a foodie excited to sample Catalonian cuisine, a culture vulture hoping to explore Barcelona's many museums and art galleries or a first-time visitor keen to sightsee, Eixample Esquerra has something for everyone. Days here are best spent wandering the bustling streets in search of hidden gems or visiting the city's iconic sights – Casa Batlló, Catedral de Barcelona and Plaça de Catalunya are all walkable in half an hour – while nights call for bar-hopping around the neighbourhood. After a long day on your feet, you'll relish retreating to this serene and cosy apartment. The balcony is a sweet spot to enjoy your breakfast alfresco or an evening tipple at sunset, while the small workspace in the main suite is ideal for those in town on business. We love how each room retains the traditional character, yet mixes stylings from southeast Asia and boho-chic to create an inviting home-from-home. And all the mod-cons are accounted for, too – including Netflix access, Bluetooth speakers, a vinyl player and rainfall showers, just to name a few.

- No time for average – We reject thousands of homes worldwide, so you don't have to.
