With a guest rating of 7.2/10 from 25 reviews, it tends to suit travelers who want independence and a calm place to regroup, rather than a hotel-style experience.

The apartment’s standout relaxation touch is the hot tub/Jacuzzi, which can be a welcome reset after walking the Eixample streets or climbing toward viewpoints. Non-smoking throughout and non-smoking rooms help keep the space comfortable for everyone, while lift access makes it easier to move in and out with luggage or strollers.
