Description Vértice: Barcelona

Situated in Eixample, this home has you near the centre of the action, surrounded by world-class modernist architecture and a host of delicious restaurants and cafes. The home itself takes its style seriously, too. We love the old Barcelona tiles that line the floor of the living room and bedrooms. The rich red rose wallpaper and the pink accent wall complement them quite beautifully. The breakfast table has brilliant views over the city, while the kitchen is sleek and perfect for whipping up snacks. Recline on the massive grey sectional in style in the living room, or luxuriate in the tub. This home is an amalgamation of texture and material, making it a truly pleasing space to spend time in. However, when you’re ready to explore, walk just fifteen minutes to Casa Batlló, or twenty to Casa Mila-La Pedrera to get more of a taste of this unique city.

Home truths:
*The lift to reach the apartment is a tad compact – it may not be suitable for wheelchairs
*The main bathroom has no windows
*Although functional and clean, the kitchen is small, and it only has a tiny window that looks onto the internal courtyard
*Luggage storage before check-in and after check-out is possible, but you’ll have to drop your bags at the host’s office in the city centre
