The Doves is tucked away in Dreta de l’Eixample, so not only is it central, but there’s a metro station around the corner, should you want to get elsewhere in the city. It’s not pristine, but while there are a few scuff marks and cracks in the paintwork, it’s still in good condition. What really sets it apart, though, are the windows that run along the entirety of one side of the flat. It allows a view of the convent across, and there are also trees that prevent people from seeing in. It’s also pretty lovely when the leaves are out.

About Eixample
Eixample is overflowing with greenery – trees line the quiet streets and you're never far away from a square to relax in. It's home to many beautiful apartment blocks sitting above restaurants and bars filled with locals enjoying summer evenings. Don't forget to look up, as famous modernist architects such as Antoni Gaudí, Lluis Domenech I Montaner, and Josep Puig I Cadafalch have designed buildings here. Walk along Paseo de...
