Fly Free: Catalonia

Steps away from Passeig de Gracia, Avenida Diagonal and the Rambla de Catalunya, this stylish apartment in Eixample is perfect for a solo traveller, couple or small family, as the office can be converted to an additional small bedroom. The oh-so-European shuttered balcony is a wonderful place to take your coffee and breakfast and watch the city going about its day. Curl up in the smart leather chair with a book or just enjoy a long lie in, lounging among piles of textured cushions. The kitchen, festooned with hanging ivy, is ideal for whipping up some typical Catalonian tapas – you’ll find it equipped with a stove, oven, microwave, Nespresso machine and dishwasher.

Home truths:
*No parties or events are allowed in this home
*You’ll need 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
