Basil Corner

Basil Corner: Catalonia

Basil Corner is a graciously elegant home with a peaceful atmosphere. The ground-floor communal area opens up to a green private terrace, whose minimalist design didn't disappoint – there's just enough furniture to highlight the size and serenity of the outdoor space. In spite of the supreme location, which is just around the corner from Sagrada Familia, Basil Corner doesn't have a view of the cathedral. But after a long day of exploring the sights, you might prefer the quiet green surroundings.

Home truths:
* The kitchen is a bit bare and it doesn't have any cooking ingredients either – avid cooks will struggle
* There are steps in this home and no ramp – please keep that in mind if you have toddlers, heavy luggage, or mobility considerations
* The streets that surround this home contain an above-average number of chain restaurants – you'll have to walk away from the Basilica to get to the authentic spots
* Six guests can sleep in this home, but the last two will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the living room
*City tax is payable upon arrival, €3.30 per person, per night – please ask your host about this
*If you check-in after 21:30 there is an additional late check-in fee – please let your host know when you plan on arriving
