If you're staying in Barcelona, then you'll probably want to see some of its architecture – and you're in luck because House of Halls has several well-preserved architectural details. From the closed-up balcony study to the balcony with space for a full set of furniture, this home embodies a true Catalan lifestyle in the opulent neighbourhood of Eixample. Staying in this part of town, you'll have easy access to lots of attractions, including Sagrada Familia and Arco de Triunfo.

Home truths:
* There are several steps leading to the elevator—those with limited mobility or heavy suitcases beware
* When we visited, we spotted some scratches and stains on the floor and furniture
* The second bedroom looks over the light shaft, so it doesn't have a great view
* There aren't many entertainment options in this home, unfortunately
* The kitchen could use some more pots and pans
* There's a garage to part a car, but there's a 20 euro per day fee
