String Theory

String Theory: Catalonia

This apartment is a cosy and serene refugee from the city. High ceilings add drama to the warm, modern vibe of the raw-wood furniture and touches. The open-plan kitchen and dining area, coupled with the balcony, makes it a great social space, with plenty of room to unwind and chat over a glass of wine. Throw a record on the turntable as you settle in for a relaxing evening. Located in the bohemian heart of the old town, surrounded by charming narrow streets. El Born is also known for its great tapas bars and trendy restaurants, so you can eat your way through the city in style.

Home truths:
*The bedroom area is on a mezzanine level accessed by a staircase, so it may not be suitable to those with reduced mobility
*You’re welcome to smoke on the balcony, but make sure to keep all the smoke outside
*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
