Staying in Dreta de l'Eixample is a treat for those who want to get a head start on sightseeing – this part of Barcelona is home to the biggest number of Modernist buildings and other postcard-worthy sights. Down the flower drive is surprisingly quiet, even though it's located right off Passeig de Gràcia, and has a great view of Sagrada Família. This is a bright, modern home that could use some more art on the walls, but we did like the wrap-around terrace and the luminous dining area.

Home truths:
*Although the kitchen is well-equipped with appliances, it doesn't have the basic staples
*Three of the dining chairs show some wear and tear
*Aside from the TV, there aren't many entertainment options in this home
*When we tested the WiFi, it wasn't strong enough for uninterrupted video streaming or other data-heavy tasks
