Tucked away in the chic neighbourhood of El Born, this home provides a tranquil base at the heart of Barcelona's old city. You'll find it on a quiet pedestrian street, perched on the third floor of a recently restored historic building and bursting at the seams with character. Here, you're within walking distance of the main sights, including Plaça de Catalunya and the Cathedral of Barcelona, a ten-minute stroll from your doorstep.

Inside, it's a timeless canvas of high ceilings, exposed brick walls and shuttered arched windows adorned with stylish decor and contemporary amenities. Though compact, the open-plan layout creates an inviting space for socialising and is equipped with a fully-fitted kitchen, dining table and cosy lounge nook. We especially love the private terrace, overlooking the peaceful street below. Start your days roosted here, sipping coffee and watching the city awaken from its slumber before heading out for a morning stroll through Ciutadella Park, six minutes away on foot.

Home truths:
