Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
From the moment you walk through this home’s door, you get a sense of easy-going comfort that goes far beyond its wonderfully sociable open-plan layout. From its wood floors to its beautiful low-built arched windows and minimalist, contemporary decor, it exudes a sense of effortless cool that feels authentically Barcelonian. Whether you’re kicking back on the sofa with a glass of wine or gathering around the dining table for an at-home feast cooked up with fresh produce from the nearby Mercat de Sant Antoni (a three-minute walk away), you’ll love hanging out in this chilled-out space. What’s more, there’s a secret private inner terrace here – the ideal spot to enjoy an alfresco breakfast or a sundowner before discovering the local tapas scene. When you’re ready to turn in, you’ll find two comfortable bedrooms ready to drift you into a peaceful night’s sleep, as well as a luxurious rainfall shower to wake up to, guaranteeing a relaxing start to any day. When it comes to sightseeing nearby, make a beeline for the Gothic Quarter – an eighteen-minute walk away – or visit the striking Palau Güell, a fifteen-minute stroll from your door. You’re also a thirteen-minute walk... from the Mercado de La Boqueria, while Plaça de Catalunya is twenty minutes away on foot.

The vibrancy of El Poble-Sec has attracted a number of artists, creative professionals, and foodies to move here, creating a village-like atmosphere of a multicultural community that feels unlike any other in the city.
