Plum Guide - Starboard

Perfect for laid-back beach bums, Starboard oozes holiday vibes. Just a ten-minute walk from the beach, this fifth-floor home has views out to sea – you can smell the salty breeze passing through the apartment. It’s flooded with tonnes of natural light from its floor to ceiling windows – we can’t get enough of that sunny breakfast spot. The original kitchen is a bit dated compared to the rest of the home, but it’s functional and maintains the feel of the building.

Home truths:
* There are only two bathrooms between all eight guests – it could take some time to leave the house in the mornings

* Two of the guests will be sleeping on a double sofa bed in the communal area

* This isn’t the most centrally located home in our Barcelona collection – it takes eighteen minutes by public transport to get into the city centre

* Luggage storage before check-in and after check-out is possible, but you’ll have to drop your bags at the host’s office in the city centre
