House of Bricks

House of Bricks: Catalonia

Walk to Las Ramblas, with its stylish boutiques and fine dining, in just twenty minutes when you stay at this stylish apartment in Barcelona. It's just a few minutes further to Plaça De Catalunya, or head to the trendy bars of the Gothic Quarter, just over a quarter of an hour on foot. El Molino theatre, often referred to as Barcelona's Moulin Rouge, is a three-minute walk. In the second half of July, the neighbourhood stages the annual Festa Major, hosting barbeques, DJs and various events. Back at this stylish home – it has buckets of character mixed with modern features such as the contemporary staircase. We love that the exposed brick and original wooden beams follow through the entire apartment too. Whip up some tapas in the vibrant red kitchen, then relax with a glass of wine. This place is perfect for unwinding in after a busy day in this stunning city.
