Description The Artist's Sketchbook: Barcelona

This picture-perfect apartment in the affluent Dreta de l’Eixample district is the ideal spot for chic visitors to the city. It's comfortable without compromising on style, and its excellent location makes it the perfect jumping-off point for exploring vibrant Barcelona.

The sleek, contemporary living space has plenty of natural light flooding in through the large windows, and the comfy sofa is a great spot to rest up after a busy day. Head into the kitchen so you can hone your favourite Spanish dishes, and serve up your culinary creations at the cosy dining corner. There's even a little balcony, for morning coffees and evening tipples in the fresh air.

Fans of Gaudí's work will be delighted that Casa Batlló is just a seven-minute walk away, and Casa Milà is only five minutes further. The iconic Sagrada Familia is around twenty minutes away on foot, and you can stop off at some of the neighbouring restaurants and tapas bars after your visit. And, if you want to visit other parts of the city, simply hop on the metro at Passeig de Gràcia station – it's just five minutes away.
