Description Barcelona Spirit: Barcelona

You know what they say about dynamite. This compact apartment in Sant Martí proves that a practical approach can pack a lot of punch into a small space. By utilising bunk beds in two bedrooms and a stylish Murphy bed to fit another guest in the living area, this modern home works for three adults and four kids, though it's worth noting there's only one full bathroom to share between. The balcony is more of a squeeze, but it's a nice touch for anyone wanting to break away for a moment. Location-wise, restaurants and several beaches dot the coastline only minutes away. Bac de Roda metro stop is an eight-minute walk away if you're itching to travel further afield.

Home truths:
*It's possible you may hear some noise from neighbours during your stay, as well as noise from the street . *This apartment is located in a residential building – the entrance and lift are shared with other guests *This home overlooks apartment buildings, so the views aren't the most inspiring. *If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance. *The fourth bedroom is separated from the living room by a glass partition but might not feel the most private. *This home is not available to groups aged under 18, without prior approval from your host *Supermarkets are nearby if you need to stock up on essentials.
