Lichen Barcelona, Catalonia

Property Description

As soon as we stepped into the entrance hall of this building, with its marble stairs and ornate gold ceiling, we knew this one was going to be special. Everything about this apartment is seriously cool, from the muted colour palette to the statement furnishings and exposed brick walls. We loved the thoughtful touches, like the minibar filled with wine, luxury toiletries and a TV that's ready with a choice of streaming services. The reading spot beside the bay window is a particularly lovely place to enjoy some quiet time with a good book or simply admire the city scenes below. The iconic Plaça Catalunya is just a few steps away from your front door, and there are a range of upmarket boutiques close by too – in case you fancy treating yourself or just doing some window shopping. You're also in an excellent position to visit both the modernist architecture of Eixample and the winding streets of the Gothic Quarter – if you like exploring cities on foot, this home is a great choice.
