Ready For Action

Ready For Action: Catalonia

With a stunning view of Port Vell and a funky atmosphere, Ready For Action is a great option for those who want a good mix of relaxation and entertainment on their holiday. El Born is known for its quirky boutiques and cafes, as well as a plethora of hidden museums. This is a simple, luminous home with a coherent earthy colour palette and high vaulted ceilings. The furniture is of high quality, although quite spartan, but we liked the modern kitchen and the B&W photography in the hallway.

Home truths:
* Aside from a TV with local channels, this home doesn't have a lot of entertainment options
* Both of the bedrooms are interior – the views aren't the best
* Due to the central location, the communal areas are quite noisy with the windows open
