Staying in the central and characterful neighbourhood of Dreta de l'Eixample is a treat for lovers of modernist architecture, with Gaudi's Casa Mila and Casa Batlló both within walking distance. Those who come to Barcelona for the flavours won't be disappointed either – this bright and airy apartment is just around the corner from Mercat de la Concepció's. Known as Barcelona’s flower market, it’s also brimming with delicacy-filled stalls – perfect for stocking up on some Catalan specialities to rustle up a tapas feast. And you’ll find plenty of space for dining or just relaxing with friends or loved ones back at this sleek and spotlessly clean apartment housed in a handsome building dating back to 1889. We’re particularly fond of the original wrought-iron balconies, which give way to views of the city’s elegant facades from nearly every room. Curl up with a morning coffee in bed and take in the splendour of this handsome city - it’s a fine way to start the day. Home truths: *Child-friendly amenities such as a cot, highchair, and window guards are available upon request at no extra cost. *Small pets are allowed on request. *There is a luggage drop service available should you arrive at the apartment early. *There’s building staff available 24-hours at the property should you need any assistance with check-in, restaurant reservations, or taxi bookings. *The balconies are Juliet-style, meaning they’re great for letting in the fresh air, but not much room for sitting on. *The single beds can easily be changed to doubles if preferred. *We think some areas of this home could do with a refresh. In particular, the sofa looks a little tired.
