City of Wicker Barcelona, Catalonia

Holiday Rental Description

Tucked away in the side streets, close to the Gothic Quarter, this freshly renovated home has more of the old rural Catalan farmhouse about it than the modern-day city apartment. Set in an ancient building, with bags of character and a shared outdoor space on the roof, it's a great choice for those planning a longer stay in the city.

Stripped back to reveal its bare brickwork in parts, with a typical vaulted ceiling and Juliet balconies, there's a cosy, home-from-home feel to the place and a nice flow to the space. We particularly love the comfy sofa in the living room and the well-equipped kitchen – perfect for a home this size. The bedrooms are bright and beautifully presented, with storage and their own bathrooms, and one could make an excellent study if you'll be working from home.

Just a few minutes from the nearest Metro, and an easy walk to some of the area's biggest attractions, we think you'll love it here.
