The Cow Skin Barcelona, Catalonia

Property Description

Located on bustling València street, if you're after somewhere vibrant – with popular modernist buildings like Gaudi's Casa Battló, quirky cafes, and interesting retail options right on your doorstep – this spot is ideal. Walk to the Casa Milà in under five minutes or be at La Sagrada Familia in just a fifteen-minute stroll. You really are in the beating heart of Barcelona here. When – full of sangria, paella and weary from all that shopping – you do return to your new home, you'll find an elegant living space with original artwork, sleek glass tables and a striking cowhide pouffe. There's a graceful yet cosy ambience around the home with ornate gold mirrors, comfy leather sofas and calming neutral tones. We really loved the chic and sociable breakfast bar in the kitchen area – it's the perfect spot for drinking your morning coffee while mapping out the day's itinerary. And with so much to see and do here, that may take some time.


Home truths:
*To reach the apartment, you'll need to climb a total of ten steps – after that, there's a lift that takes you to the fourth floor
*Tell any guests to knock upon arrival, as the doorbell does not work
*Some of the décor is a little dated and may not be everyone's taste
*It's not the brightest of apartments – some of the rooms suffer from a lack of natural light
*If you're bringing little ones along, the host provides high chairs and baby cots free of charge
