The Best Thing

You’ll find this laid-back apartment in Barcelona’s sprawling and varied Sarrià-Sant Gervasi neighbourhood. Look forward to afternoons spent shopping in nearby boutiques before taking the funicular railway to Parque de Atracciones. Dining options are varied and delicious – you’re a short walk from urban tapas bars and eateries offering international fare. If sightseeing is on the agenda, hop on the metro at El Putxet and arrive at the famous Passeig de Gràcia in no time at all.

Back at home, a pared-back living space invites you to kick off your shoes and put your feet up after a whirlwind day. Nestle among the sofa’s plump scatter cushions with a milky coffee in hand then put together a grazing board in the fully-equipped kitchen. Soak up the Spanish sunshine on the private balcony and when the heat begins to rise, make a beeline for the bedroom and enjoy a siesta.

Home truths:
*You'll use a digital key for self-check-in and check-out *Though there isn't a dedicated desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace *The second bedroom comprises two single beds pushed together *This home is in a central spot, so noise is to be expected
