Gilded by the Sun: Catalonia

Whether you’re visiting Barcelona for a weekend or an extended stay, this family-friendly apartment is the perfect place to relax after exploring the city. The pad is a short walk from the famous Casa Milà and a couple of hundred metres from the Diagonal metro station – handy for adventures further afield. Inside, the living space is bright and light, and if you fancy some fresh air, there’s a balcony off the main bedroom. While the kitchen is well-appointed, it feels a little dated compared to the rest of the home, though everything works just fine.

Home truths:
*Parking in Barcelona can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible. *If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a free cot. This must be requested in advance. *As this home is located in a residential building, your host asks that noise is kept to a minimum from 9pm. *One member of your group must be over the age of 35. *Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
