Barcelona
Just 200m west of Platja de la Nova Icària on a quiet street, this warm guesthouse with a boho touch has eight cosy, spotless contemporary rooms in a refurbished 1902 building. Some lack natural light and/or share bathrooms, while others are bright and spacious, with in-room kitchens. There's also a communal kitchen, plus a rooftop terrace that's fabulous for a sunset drink.
Slippers are provided for the no-shoes-indoors policy.
