Cozy Central Barcelona Flat with Balcony, Cats & Workspaces
Welcome to my small but cozy apartment in the very heart of Barcelona! This is the perfect home for anyone looking to explore the city while enjoying a peaceful, comfortable space that’s ideal for remote work — and for cat lovers!
About the Space
The apartment is compact but thoughtfully arranged, with everything you need for a pleasant stay. There are two desks available, making it easy for solo travelers, digital nomads, or even a couple to work from home comfortably. The living space is bright and opens onto a private balcony — perfect for morning coffee or an evening glass of wine.
Meet the Cats
Two friendly cats live here: they’re calm, independent, and used to having someone around. You will be required to take care of them (food, fresh water, a clean litter box, playtime). If you enjoy the quiet company of animals, you’ll love their gentle presence. They’re a key part of this home, so it’s essential that guests are cat-friendly and responsible.
Peaceful Yet Central Location
Located in a truly central, residential neighborhood, the apartment offers the best of both worlds: you're steps away from lively streets filled with cafés, tapas bars, and charming local shops, but the atmosphere inside the building is quiet and respectful. Please note this is not a party home — it’s perfect for quiet, considerate people who will respect the neighbors and the cats.
You can walk to many of the city’s main attractions — the port, the cathedral, and other historic landmarks are all within easy reach. There’s also a metro stop just a few minutes away, making it simple to explore further parts of the city and beyond.
What You’ll Find Here:
Two desks for remote work
Wi-Fi included
A balcony with seating
Fully equipped kitchen
Washing machine
Two cats who will be your quiet companions
No noise, no parties – just calm living in the city center
This is a space meant for those who appreciate a slower, more respectful pace of city life — ideal for writers, remote workers, or couples seeking a warm, relaxing home base in Barcelona. If that sounds like you, I’d love to welcome you!
