Matilde has a beautiful place located right at the edge of Barcelona - it is literally the last street before the mountain! Think of it as a place to relax and unwind, to enjoy a huge view of the entire city stretching out to the Mediterranean, with a pool to cool off and a big terrace to take it all in, ideally with some cava or cerveza to stay hydrated. The area is somewhat off the main touristic track, though it is serviced by a bus route within a couple of minutes walk and by taxi; a car is probably recommended if you intend to spend a lot of time in the city proper, which is about half an hour away. That said, the real benefit of this place is not its proximity to the city centre, but to the parks and nature, and the very chill and relaxing vibe of the space itself, which allows you to slow down, savour the moment and have a proper break. Matilde and Nicolas are great hosts who can provide lots of recommendations and advice about the city and the neighbourhood - they even have an app with all the details for the property and tips for restaurants and things to do. I cannot recommend this place highly enough if you want to get away from it all, while still having one of the world’s great cities within your grasp.
