Black and White Home

If you're looking for something a little extra special from your accommodation in Barcelona, then a perusal of the flats on offer from Black and White Home will reveal some tantalising options. Their large range of luxury apartments and lofts can be found in central districts around the city, whether you insist on a view of Gaudi's La Sagrada Familia, or prefer the lively family-friendly district of Gracia. All of Black and White's flats adhere to the strictest of standards, and include air-conditioning and Internet connection as standard as well as fully equipped kitchens and bathrooms. In addition all have been tastefully refurbished - appropriately enough with black and white furniture and artwork - and there's a real danger you won't want to leave your swish new pad at the end of your holiday. Their rates start at 25 euros per person per night, and you'll find a full range of options on their website. Additional services include stocking your fridge with gourmet Spanish treats, sorting out your airport transfers, organising a private guide or even booking your own personal shopper or fitness trainer.

One of the nicest places I have ever stayed in! Thanks B&W... see you in 2012 I hope!
