Tucked away in the chic neighbourhood of El Born, this home provides a tranquil base at the heart of Barcelona's old city. You'll find it on a quiet pedestrian street, perched on the third floor of a recently restored historic building and bursting at the seams with character. Here, you're within walking distance of the main sights, including Plaça de Catalunya and the Cathedral of Barcelona, a ten-minute stroll from your doorstep. Inside, it's a timeless canvas of high ceilings, exposed brick walls and shuttered arched windows adorned with stylish decor and contemporary amenities. Though compact, the open-plan layout creates an inviting space for socialising and is equipped with a fully-fitted kitchen, dining table and cosy lounge nook. We especially love the private terrace, overlooking the peaceful street below. Start your days roosted here, sipping coffee and watching the city awaken from its slumber before heading out for a morning stroll through Ciutadella Park, six minutes away on foot.

Home truths

    There's no free parking here, and 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

    This home is located on the third floor with no lift

    At full occupancy, one guest will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area

    For longer stays, the kitchen lacks some basic cooking essentials – we'd recommend bringing your own

    You'll need to bring your own hairdryer toiletries with you to use during your stay

    Though there isn't a dedicated desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace

    Hen and stag parties are not allowed at this home

About Gothic Quarter

Gothic Quarter is a true tourist hotspot, filled with shops and famous attractions on every corner. During the day, urban explorers fill its narrow, stone-paved streets, admiring the neo-Gothic sights – but it’s the night that sees the Quarter truly come to life. Home to some of the city’s most popular restaurants, bars, and quirky shops that stay open till late, the vibrant area is popular among young travellers and party-goers seeking the best Barcelona has to offer.
