Highlights

Nine luxurious modern-classic apartments, sleeping up to six
Superb central Barcelona setting, seconds from Eixample
Fully fitted kitchens stocked with mod culinary cons and condiments
State-of-the-art Swissflex beds with Egyptian cotton sheets and goosedown pillows
Smart, soothing design schemes with warm neutrals and bright whites

Guestbook

The apartment was very modern, clean and comfortable, with everything you would need for a pleasant stay. The location was also very convenient for the centre of Barcelona. I would not hesitate to use Destination BCN again
The design and interior of the flat were above all expectations. It was decorated hearty and you feel as living in the modern flat rather than in a kind of hotel.

Smith tip

Don't be too alarmed if you exit the lift on the wrong floor and find yourself in an office – impenetrable planning regulations require one floor of the building remains office space (think the seventh-and-a-half floor in Being John Malkovich). Still, it's handy if you need to send a fax or make photcopies...

Destination BCN

Barcelona, Spain[view map]

Style
Mid-century modernism
Setting
Gaudí's Gothic streets

With its wow-inducing architecture, cycle-friendly streets, mouth-watering markets and thriving social scene Barcelona begs you to stay a little longer, settle in, and make yourself at home. And there’s no better place to do so than Destination BCN. Owned by the impossibly cool, irrepressibly stylish and totally down-to-earth Miklos and Anne, the pristinely designed apartments at Ronda Universitat 11 are elegant, warm, functional spaces that are soaked in Spanish sophistication. Ever fallen in love with an apartment in a design magazine and wished you could click your heels and just live that life for a while? With Destination BCN on the scene, nothing’s stopping you.
