Just a few blocks from Plaza de España and in walking distance of both Old Town and Barcelona's port, it's no exaggeration to say this two-storey home puts you in the centre of the action. We were fond of the modern interior, pleasingly combing with the traditional vaulted ceilings. The shaded terrace is a particularly nice touch, allowing you to grab some fresh air while you relax at home. When it's time to head out, you'll find museums and shopping centres practically on your doorstep.

Home truths:
*This home is spread over two floors, with steep stairs. You'll need to be able to climb them to access the first floor.
*At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area.
*While the second bathroom isn’t photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
*If you're travelling for work, you won't find a dedicated desk here. However, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace.
