Description Ma Jolie: Barcelona

Ideally located in the heart of Barcelona, this apartment is perfect for short-term visits or more extended stays. The place is well-appointed – though we think the kitchen best suits light bites rather than slap-up feasts. The terrace is all yours and the main bedroom has balcony access. In terms of your immediate surroundings, Poble Sec metro station is just around the corner and there are a number of restaurants right on your doorstep. Barceloneta Beach is around 3.5 kilometres away if you want to escape the heat.

Home truths:
*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
*At full capacity, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living space
*Though there isn't a dedicated desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace
*You’ll collect the keys to the apartment from your host’s office
*Groups of young people and hen and stag parties are not allowed at this home
