Time Goes By

Time Goes By: Catalonia

Not only is this apartment a picture of boho charm, it’s also right in the heart of Barcelona. Walk to the iconic Sagrada Familia, just fifteen minutes away. Or head to the Gaudi’s canvas, Passeig de Gracia, which is walkable in less than ten minutes. Being in the centre of sultry Barcelona means tapas joints, wine bars and endless restaurants buzzing with life all on your doorstep.

This apartment acts as a haven of calm in the city. A palette of slate-grey, straw and wood is livened up with greenery from pot plants. Floor to ceiling windows let in plenty of natural light and can slide open to a slender little balcony for a breath of fresh air. When it comes to retreating to bed for the evening, there’s something zen-like about the master bedroom with its bamboo accents and East Asian inspired lantern lights. Plus, the ensuite has some of a Japanese onsen feel to its matte-black motif. There's a dedicated office too, should you wish to work from an enviable remote spot.

Home truths:
*Although there is a balcony, it is slim and unfurnished
*This home is up several stairs but there is a lift in the building
*There's no parking with this apartment but you're in the heart of Barcelona so a car is not necessary
*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
