The Terracotta

The Terracotta: Catalonia

The location is this home's greatest asset, as it positions you right in the nerve centre of Barcelona, only minutes away from Avinguda Diagonal. This is a warm Spanish home, relaxed and unpretentious, with a few interesting art pieces and eclectic furniture. Although it's clear that it's been designed with a focus on comfort and functionality, this home comes with a few impressive assets, such as a private roof terrace with acapulco chairs, and the exposed brickwork in the living room.

Home truths:
* The windows in this home are not particularly good at keeping out the heat or noise - light sleepers beware
* We didn't particularly like the pillows – they were too soft for our taste
* The hanging utensils in the kitchen look a bit messy
* The refrigerator in this home is not big enough for four people
* We felt like the kitchen could use a style update
* This home can sleep a maximum of four guests, but the last one will need to settle for the pull-out bed
