This sizzling slice of Barcelona life is the ideal find for a couple or solo traveller stopping in the city. It wears its heritage with pride, from the wooden floors to the exposed brick walls original beams – and we particularly love the old-school record player. If you're stopping in the city to work then you'll love the cosy workspace, where you can catch up on emails before cooking up a hearty lunch in the rustic kitchen, complete with custom-made wood panelling. But the standout feature of this home has to be the multi-functional roof terrace. Top up your sun lotion and get comfortable on a lounger, host an alfresco dinner party in the entertainment area, or simply enjoy the views of the city streets below. Ciutadella Park is only a two-minute walk from your front door, and the winding medieval streets of the El Born neighbourhood are packed with boutiques, bars and authentic Catalan restaurants. So, if you want a taste of the real Barcelona, this is the home for you.

*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
