The Making of a City

This apartment offers a central location in Barcelona's Gothic Quarter and a practical pad to call your own. Just a short stroll from Barcelona Cathedral, Plaza Catalunya and the various shops, restaurants and bars, you really couldn't be better placed for exploring the city. The home's bedrooms vary in size, with limited space so you'll want to pack light. That said, we think the modern design, which benefits from traditional Catalan touches, makes for a lovely home to come back to after a busy day of sightseeing.

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 apartment is on the first floor, accessible by lift *This home is in a central spot, so noise is to be expected *The dining table doubles as a laptop-friendly workspace *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
