Rattanista

Rattanista: Catalonia

If you're seeking a stylish base for your Barcelona getaway, this tasteful home hits the spot.

Located in the center of the buzzy Eixample neighborhood, this apartment is ideal for the modern traveller wanting to explore Guadi's playground while relaxing in between an itinerary of cultural and artistic activities. Fully equipped with designated desk space and plenty of natural light, this home is also an ideal setup for remote workers.

This home is ideally situated for exploring nearby architectural treasures such as Casa Milà and Casa Batllo, each a twenty-minute walk away. The apartment is just a five-minute walk from the nearest Metro station, so it's easy to explore further afield.

We love the modern feel of the interior, with rattan design elements and neutral tones creating a blissful atmosphere. While the surrounding area is full of bars and eateries, we wouldn't blame you for staying in and enjoying a relaxing evening by spinning some tunes on the vinyl record player or kicking back on the sofa and making use of the TV with Netflix access.

Complete with a fully equipped kitchen and comfy dining area, you might also be tempted to try whipping up some authentic Spanish dishes. Paella, anyone?


Home truths:
*There's a dedicated desk here if you need to catch up on some work during your stay
*Parking in Barcelona can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible – though we think the best way to see the city is on foot
*Hen and stag parties are not allowed at this home
*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
