Nestled in Barcelona, this charming condo for $187 per night is a great choice for your next break. Boasting an incredible location right opposite Barcelona Cathedral in the city’s evocative Barri Gòtic, this beautiful apartment puts you in a prime position to make the most out of the city’s history and culture. The long, open-plan living area is the heart and soul of the home, where Scandi cool meets Spanish minimalism in effortless, perfect style. It’s the views here that really steal the show, though. Open up the French doors to reveal wrought-iron Juliet balconies facing the cathedral and perch here with an evening glass of wine as you people-watch from your privileged position. Alternatively feast on the uniquely beautiful scenery from the dining table over an at-home feast, or from the comfort of the plump sofas that beckon hours of lounging after a busy day in the city. Factor in the stylish bedrooms with their desk spaces, not to mention the bathrooms’ relaxing rainfall showers, and you’ve got everything you need for a heavenly stay. When it comes to things to see and do nearby, explore the Gothic Quarter’s medieval streets filled with trendy bars, clubs and Catalan restaurants or pick up some delicious local produce from the Santa Caterina Market, 50 metres away from your door. Elsewhere, head to Ciutadella Park for a scenic afternoon stroll, or make a beeline for Barceloneta Beach, within walking distance too.
