This apartment is on one of Barcelona's most fashionable boulevards, close to Las Ramblas and the late-night tapas bars of the Gothic Quarter. Passeig de Gràcia with its shops, restaurants and bars, is just a five-minute walk away. There’s a sense of old-world grandeur inside thanks to chandeliers and corniced ceilings, in keeping with the historic building. The apartment is family-sized, but might feel cramped at capacity with three in one bedroom and two on the sofa bed in the living room. Balconies off the living room and one of the bedrooms face Rambla Catalunya – perfect for people-watching.

Home truths:
*The apartment is on the third floor, but there is a lift in the building.
*The building has a concierge service from Monday to Friday.
*One of the bedrooms is a triple, so three people would be sharing one room at capacity. Two people would also be on the sofa bed in the living room.
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance.
*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.
*Parking in Barcelona can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible.
