Foliage filled, with exposed beams and colourful floor tiles, this two-bed apartment in Eixample is a perfect marriage of traditional and trendy. Try your hand at cooking some tapas in the open kitchen with stove and oven, coffeemaker, microwave and all the cookware you need. Bring your coffee out to one of the two balconies and watch the comings and goings of the city. Even if you’re staying long term, you needn’t worry about watering the plants – a smart self-irrigation system keeps them looking forever green and lush. Spend evenings curled up in the hanging chair, reading a book or watching Netflix on the smart TV.
