The Singing Butler

With its vibrant street art and foodie culture, this Sant Antoni apartment offers a central base for exploring Barcelona. You'll find this home nestled perfectly, just a seven-minute stroll from the neighbourhood's beautiful thirteenth-century open-air market. Swing by to taste-test its delectable array of food stalls, find hidden vintage gems or, on Sundays, leaf through second-hand books and magazines.

With its stylish design and dynamic oil paintings, imported all the way from South Africa, this home impresses with its eclectic and considered aesthetic. We especially love the light-filled and open-plan living space, creating an inviting atmosphere where you'll love spending time after a day of gallery hopping. After a restful slumber, spend mornings roosted at the dining table for breakfast, prepared in the fully-equipped kitchen, to fuel up for another day of sightseeing.

Here, you're a fifteen-minute walk from Plaça de Catalunya and La Rambla, while the closest metro station is three minutes away on foot. After exploring Barcelona’s famous Mercado de la Boqueria you’ll be in need of nourishment - our pick is Els Sortidors del Parlament, a quick ten minutes from the market, a contemporary bodega offering wine from the barrel and small Catalan tapas plates - their gourmet shop is the perfect gift spot. From there, you’re right in the thick of Sant Antoni where you’ll find the city’s wrought-iron architectural highlights and experience the true vibrancy of the neighbourhood.
