Vinçon Boutique Barcelona, Catalonia

Holiday Rental Description

You'll find this contemporary flat just around the corner from Plaça de Catalunya and La Rambla de Catalunya, two of Barcelona's busiest and most vibrant spots. As long as a bit of buzz suits you, we think this central location will make sightseeing effortless – many of the city's must-visit landmarks are either within walking distance or a quick ride away on the metro. Add in the proximity to delicious restaurants, lively tapas bars and fashionable shopping and we think it's an excellent choice.

After a long day exploring, come home to this light-filled apartment and chill out in style. It's a chic mixture of old and new – we particularly liked the tall vaulted ceilings, large windows and traditional French doors leading onto the balcony. Kick back on the cushy sofa with a glass of sangria, then rustle up classic Catalan dishes like pa amb tomàquet and fideuà in the sleek white kitchen. Following dinner, pour yourself another glass of wine and step out onto the balcony to watch the sunset over the city streets – although there's nowhere to sit, we thought it was a great spot to soak up the festive atmosphere of Barcelona. Then, when you're feeling full and sleepy, climb into the comfortable beds and drift off dreaming of tomorrow's adventures.

Home truths:
*A cot and high chair can be provided on request *This home is located in a central spot so noise is to be expected *The main bedroom can be accessed from both the living room and the hallway *There are several steps leading to the elevator – those with limited mobility or heavy suitcases may struggle *The second bedroom overlooks an internal lights shaft – it's not the brightest *Aside from a TV with local channels, this home doesn't have a lot of entertainment options *The entrance to this building is shared with other residents *If needed, the dining table can double as a laptop-friendly workspace *Parking is tricky here, so we suggest exploring on foot instead of driving
