Barcelona is a city with serious style. The Catalan capital is home to stunning architecture, stylish boutiques and tapas that, frankly, we consider to be a work of art in its own right. Ok, it’s already nearly perfect, so how about making it totally perfect with a stay in one of the city’s very best Airbnbs? There are some serious gems here, whether you're looking for somewhere chic, cheap or the kind of place you’ll want to spend the rest of your days, you’ll find it in Barcelona. We’ve discovered neoclassical villas, close-to-the-beach lofts and an art nouveau haven in Gracia. You can thank us later when we cross paths in the restaurants and bars of Barcelona. Happy hunting! Welcome to the best Airbnbs in Barcelona.

What’s the best place to stay in Barcelona?

The truth is, you're spoilt for choice in Barcelona. So, it comes down to the kind of city break you're after. For grand boulevards and modernist eye candy, check into Eixample. There you'll find grid-patterned streets, rooftop terraces and walking all the Gaudí icons. But if you want something more residential, El Farró (a pocket of Sant Gervasi) delivers village calm, just uphill from the buzz. For views, gardens and golden-hour magic, base yourself around Montjuïc, where museums, leafy paths and city panoramas replace traffic noise. And if you want space, value and great transport links, L'Hospitalet de Llobregat offers modern apartments and easy metro rides into the centre.

The main draw here is the outside space and the Barca-wide views. Yes, it’s six floors up (and there’s no elevator) but, honey, it’s worth it.
