City Stucco

City Stucco: Catalonia

In the heart of bustling Gracia, this little home is a great base for a longer stay. A mix of on-trend ethnic style, rustic chic and traditional features, we particularly love the tiled floors and shuttered windows. But it's not all style over substance either, with modern amenities like a comfortable desk and a washing machine. In the mornings, grab a pastry from the nearest bakery, step out onto the balcony and sip your coffee in the sunshine. In the evening, why not spend some time reading in the swing chair. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you could need, but chances are you'll be tempted by the countless wine bars, cafes and restaurants that dot the neighbourhood. Gaudi’s Casa Milà and Casa Vicens are both a ten-minute stroll away. In this vibrant neighbourhood, you'll be living like a local in no time.

Home truths:
*The minimum length of a stay is a month, so this apartment is perfect for long-term trips
*While most basic toiletries and other essentials are provided, you have to bring your own shampoo
*As this home is in one of Barcelona’s most popular areas, some city and street noise is to be expected – light sleepers may want to pack earplugs just in case
*There is only air conditioning in some rooms
