Description Real Ramblas: Barcelona

One of many similar apartments, this pad puts you smack-dab in the centre of Barcelona. Stroll down Las Ramblas, 100 metres away, and admire the Guadí architecture while doing a bit of shopping. Venture five minutes further and you'll hit Plaça de Catalunya, one of the most popular spots in the city. Two guests will sleep on a sofa bed here, and when it's in use, the socialising space isn't the biggest. There's also likely to be street noise since you're so central. That aside, with a cosy bedroom and full kitchen, it's a comfortable, practical spot to call home.

Home truths:
*Your host owns several apartments here, so the exact view, layout and furnishings will differ from the photos. The overall quality should remain the same. *Two guests will sleep on a sofa bed in the living area. *If you're travelling for work, you won't find a desk here. The dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace, though. *Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some noise throughout your stay. *You can either self-check-in via a smartphone app, or you may have to pick up the keys from the host's office. They'll let you know more after booking. *You won't need a car in Barcelona. Instead of driving, explore on foot or take advantage of the city's public transport.
