Arbequina

Located on one of the main veins of Gràcia’s network of elegant streets, this apartment has every reason to be so tasteful. While this vibrant barrio is awash with boutiques, restaurants, and bars, you’re sure to find serenity in this home. Right from the offset, there’s a natural and organic feel from the striking, handmade, wooden feature wall in the living space. Accompanied by an olive-green colour scheme, fresh plants, and tree-lined views coming in from the huge windows, the apartment feels incredibly earthy and relaxed. While there are modern accents such as industrial-style hanging lamps, and sleek stools at the breakfast bar, the vintage touches reign supreme. We love the old-school cool vibe from the record player, along with wicker baskets, woven throws, and an antique-style dining set. This effortless balance of modern elegance and traditional comfort is what makes it special. We can’t think of anything better than perching on the ornate, wrought-iron balcony and sipping wine as the sun sets over Gràcia. Unless of course you’re a Gaudí fan, in which case an easy twelve-minute stroll to Casa Milà will make your day.

Home truths:
*There's not a lot of space to sit out on the balcony, despite it being very long (it's best for perching and peering) *You'll have a washing machine, but no tumble dryer – the warm climate should suffice for drying clothes though *Your host doesn't provide shampoo and conditioner, but there are plenty of shops nearby *As this home is in one of Barcelona’s most popular areas, some city and street noise is to be expected just in case *There is only air conditioning in some rooms*This host requires your check-in to be within 3-5 days from when the last booking ends.
