Gloria Glimmer

Gloria Glimmer: Catalonia

Modern, bright and centrally located, this apartment is an ideal base for those looking to experience the buzzing heart of the city with spectacular views to boot. Boasting a long private balcony accessed from the living area and both bedrooms, you can feast on wide-sweeping cityscapes and ogle at the Torre Glòries as you dine alfresco or soak up some rays from the Acapulco chairs.

Inside, you’ll find an equally enticing space with wood floors, contemporary decor and a sociable open-plan layout that invites chefs of the group to whip up feasts around the kitchen island and beckons plenty of relaxing on the sofa.

When you’re ready to venture out for some sightseeing, make a beeline for the nearby Sagrada Familia or hop on the bus to sink your toes in the sand at Barceloneta Beach. With countless tapas bars, restaurants and shops on your doorstep too, you’ll get a true taste of the city here in no time.


Home truths:
*At capacity, one guest will be sleeping on the pull-out trundle bed in the second bedroom – we think it's better suited to children
*Given the home's central location, some street noise is to be expected – light sleepers may wish to pack earplugs
*There's no desk here, but the dining table can double up as a laptop-friendly workspace if needed
*Out of respect for the neighbours, please keep noise levels to a minimum after 10pm
*The building's entrance is shared with the other residents
*We recommend skipping the car here and exploring Barcelona on foot or by public transport instead
