With a youthful, modern look, this cute and central Barcelona apartment combines comfort and smart design, with a much saught-after location in the fashionable El Borne district.

Hardwood flooring, warm colours and funky furnishings all melt together perfectly, for a really fresh, well laid-out space.

Renovated Catalan beams and your very own Barcelona balconette overlooking this historic neighbourhood, set the scene for an authentic stay in the city centre.

The apartment sits in the charmingly old-world El Borne, near the pretty Plaza San Pere, in the heart of Barcelona, with cafés, boutiques and supermarkets at your doorstep.

It's a lovely 5 minute stroll to the city park, the Santa Catarina market, Museo Picasso and the Gothic cathedral.

In 10 minutes you can walk to the famous Las Ramblas strip, Plaza Catalunya, or the beach at Barceloneta.
