Casa de Vida

With authentic Spanish interiors and a prime location in Barcelona's Gothic Quarter, this apartment is ideal for those looking to be within walking distance of the city's most celebrated sights. You're a short stroll from Barcelona Cathedral, Plaza Catalunya and the Parc de la Ciutadella with plenty of excellent shopping and dining options right on your doorstep. Inside, traditional Catalan touches combine with a contemporary design to add real warmth to the pad – that said, the bedrooms do vary in size and there's limited storage space.

Home truths:
*Your host owns multiple homes on this resort, so the exact view, layout and furnishings might vary from the photos
*Access to the apartment building is shared with the other residents
*At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area
*This home is in a central spot, so noise is to be expected
*You'll need to pick up the keys from the host's office
*Parking in Barcelona can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible – though we think the best way to see the city is on foot
*Your host provides an initial supply of toiletries, but you might want to bring your own to top this up
*You'll likely need some extra towels here
