Description Eixample Gold: Barcelona

Sitting above Avinguda Diagonal, this Eixample apartment has one of the neighbourhood's great perks – a balcony looking out over the tree-lined boulevard, with the area's iconic modernist architecture framing the view. Vaulted ceilings and tall windows bring the charm of the Barcelona streets inside, and each bedroom has its own en-suite, making this a great choice for groups who like their own space. Gaudí's Barcelona is walkable from the door, with the city's best restaurants and shops close at hand.

Home truths:
* The apartment sits on a main road, so you can expect some street noise – particularly from traffic and a nearby restaurant below. The balconies are a great spot regardless, and most guests find the buzz of the neighbourhood easy to tune out.
* There is ongoing construction nearby, so you may hear some daytime noise during your visit. It's worth factoring this in if you're planning to work from the apartment or enjoy quiet mornings.
* If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair at no additional cost. You'll need to request them in advance.
