The Matador Gallery Barcelona, Catalonia

Property Description

Full of warmth and character, this art-filled flat in Barcelona’s Dreta de l'Eixample neighbourhood is the perfect base for families or a group of friends looking to explore the city. With its beamed ceilings, exposed brick walls and eclectic paintings adorning the walls, it feels like a boho artist’s studio. However, far from being just a look-and-don’t-touch space, this home offers an array of entertainment options, including stacks of books and a movie library to choose from for quiet nights away from the hustle and bustle of the streets below. We love the living room’s floor-to-ceiling windows that fill the space with light and the French doors that lead out onto a duet of balconies. This is the perfect spot to perch with your morning coffee before heading out to explore the sights. Centrally located in one of the city’s most vibrant areas, you’re only a fifteen-minute walk from Gaudí’s impressive Casa Batlló and Casa Milà, while lively Plaça de Catalunya is a mere five-minutes away. And if you want to explore further afield, you'll find access to public transport just a few minutes walk from your front door. In the evenings, cook up a Spanish feast in the large, open kitchen or discover Eixample’s vibrant food scene right outside your door. Finish evenings with a glass of wine on the balcony before retreating to your bedrooms for a restful night’s sleep.


Home truths:
*The second bedroom only has a bunk bed, so we think this home is better suited for families
*Both bedrooms lack natural light
*As this home is in a residential building, guests are asked to keep noise levels to a minimum after 9pm – there's a noise sensor in the flat
*Although the host will provide you with directions, the entrance can be a bit tricky to find
*The shower is only 160 centimetres high – this might be an issue for taller guests
*Though the host can't offer early check-in or late check-out, they can help to arrange luggage storage
