Cool, calm and collected, this Barcelona bolthole is the tonic to the city’s racing pulse. It’s a world of hand-woven rugs and ink-black accents giving a Japanese zen vibe. Tucked away behind a book-filled room divider, a dedicated office space offers somewhere to get creative or catch up on work. If your stay is all pleasure and no business, then the sunny balcony is the place to while away the evenings with a drink in hand. You’re in the Sant Gervasi neighbourhood, a family-friendly place with sprawling parks and tree-lined streets. The central Mercat del Garvany sells a plethora of local produce, which is ideal given the surprisingly spacious kitchen back at your apartment.

Home truths:
* The balcony is a bonus in this area, but doesn't have a particularly inspiring view * There's not a lot of natural light in the kitchen and office area *As this home is in one of Barcelona’s most popular areas, some city and street noise is to be expected just in case *There is only air conditioning in some rooms*This host requires your check-in to be within 3-5 days from the last booking – if you are unsure if your dates will work or for help finding alternatives please contact our Matchmaking Team *Please note that the building amenities such as the pool and gym may have specific hours of operation and might not be available year-round.
