This apartment is not just style, it’s substance too. A ten-minute walk from the Sagrada Familia means you’re in the beating heart of Barcelona here, with late-night tapas joints, wine bars and restaurants galore on your doorstep. If you want to explore the other sights of the city – the New Camp, or perhaps Parc Guell – there’s a metro stop just three minutes away on foot.

The soft-toned exposed brickwork inside gives the feeling of a soothing yet industrial space. Modern artworks adorn the walls and royal red velvet furniture pops against the otherwise neutral palette. The kitchen has plenty of space for family meals, a delight at the solid wood dining table. Plot the day’s activities with the curated selection of guidebooks over your morning coffee.
