Holiday Rental Description

You'll find this tranquil apartment just down the street from Sagrada Familia, one of Gaudí's (and Barcelona's) most iconic buildings. To be so close to such an architectural marvel is quite special, and although you're a little further away from the more bustling and tourist-heavy spots, we think the sight of those church spires more than makes up for it. When you do fancy heading to the centre, however, hop on the metro at Sagrada Familia station and you'll arrive at Plaça de Catalunya in less than fifteen minutes.

Following a wander around the city, return to this homey apartment and kick back with a glass of sangria. The squishy sofa is just what the doctor ordered after a long day on your feet, while the bright dining area is the perfect spot to indulge in some homemade tapas when you're in the mood to cook.

Two sleek bathrooms complete with rainfall showers ensure nobody needs to queue, and complimentary cots and high chairs make this an excellent option for those travelling with little ones. All in all, we found this to be a lovely space for a small family to unwind at the end of each day.

Home truths:
*Two cots and two high chairs can be provided on request *Two of the single beds are trundles, so they're best suited to children *While there's air conditioning here, it's only in the living room *This flat is on a busy street, so noise is to be expected *Though there isn't a dedicated desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace *You'll have to climb a couple of steps to reach the elevator *The entrance to this home is shared
