Description Just One Yesterday: Barcelona

Gaudi’s unfinished masterpiece, La Sagrada Familia, looms above Barcelona’s narrow, gothic streets and this flash little apartment puts you mere footsteps from its front door. It’s a two-minute stroll to the cathedral itself, and the surrounded streets are packed with late-night tapas joints, stylish fashion boutiques and romantic wine bars.

If you fancy a drink in the quiet of your own apartment, we can think of worse places than the private balcony, furnished with plush rattan chairs and a drinks table. Though the streets around buzz with endless restaurants and cafés, this apartment’s sleek, monochrome kitchen has everything you need to cook a full meal at home if you fancy. The living room is brightened by floor to ceiling sliding doors which lead to the balcony and bedrooms are soothing havens of stone and sage with the master boasting direct access to the balcony too.
