Located next to the illustrious Passeig de Gràcia, this cosy apartment is the ideal bolthole for exploring Barcelona. With a location as fantastic as this one, the beautifully decorated apartment is a bonus.

Bright, airy, and inviting, this is the kind of apartment you'll love coming home to after a day of exploring. We particularly love the colourful tiled floors, a nod to the building's modernist roots, taking inspiration from the vibrant architecture of the nearby Passeig de Gràcia. The Juliet balconies are another stand-out feature, with shutter doors opening up so you can peek your head out and sip on wine while enjoying the fresh breeze.

Whipping up dinners in this well-equipped kitchen will be a breeze, but if you don't feel like cooking after a long day of wandering around this magical city, you're steps away from Eixample, Las Ramblas, and the Gothic Quarter, where the tapas restaurants come in the hundreds.

Home truths:
*Parking in Barcelona can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible – though we think the best way to see the city is on foot *You might be able to check in earlier and check out later – be sure to check with your host *Your host can provide a cot for free upon request *Well-behaved pets are welcome to accompany you during your stay *The entrance to this home is shared with the building's other residents *The only bathroom is an ensuite – the guests in the twin bedroom will have to walk through the master bedroom to get to it *This home is in a central spot, so noise is to be expected *Expect to see some signs of general wear and tear here
