Sandwiched between the beautiful Parc de la Ciutadella and the city's best beaches, this apartment provides a peaceful stay far removed from the tourist crowds. Located in the Olympic Village neighbourhood, there are plenty of eateries and bars nearby, as well as Rambla de Poble Nou a fifteen-minute walk away. Back at the apartment, the real standout is the private balcony which serves as a lovely spot to enjoy a drink in the evening. If you're travelling for work, you'll find a dedicated home office space as well as a desk in each bedroom.

Home truths

    Parking in Barcelona can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible – though we think the best way to see the city is on foot.

    The entrance to this home is shared with the building's other residents.

    The balcony is overlooked by nearby buildings so the views aren't the most inspiring.

    If you have some work to catch up on during your stay, there's a laptop-friendly workspace here, as well as a fast WI-FI connection.

About El Poblenou

El Poblenou is on the rise. Nested between the beach and the old town, it’s a fusion of old and new architecture, quickly becoming the technological heart of Barcelona. It’s a lot more tranquil than most parts of the city, but its list of attractions is growing fast. Scattered between buzzing shops that embrace its rough-luxe feel are some of the most loved and recommended eateries in the whole city. The closer you get to the beach, the more they turn into more traditional tapas restaurants and bars that let you mingle with the locals and travellers alike.
