Barcelona, the city of dreams, the city of living culture, the city of Gaudí, the city of Las Ramblas. But also the city of heart-stopping rents, the city of first floor apartments without elevator and living rooms with broken sofas. Are you ready for this adventure?
If you are looking for an apartment, the panorama can be a bit bleak. Today we present you an apartment of 80 square meters, with a rent of 1,325 euros per month and a kitchen that could have been taken out of a video game. It has been the latest viral phenomenon in Barcelona because it is the apartment of nonsense, as shown in the following video of @le_petit_patito and that we narrate with the same derision.
The apartment of 1,325 euros with all the comforts.
In it you find a sofa with chaise lounge and custom fabric covers. A vintage piece? No, it’s just worn out. But don’t worry, you can enjoy it with no regrets, as long as you don’t mind the “Balkan-style electrical installation”, with the wires in the air that predominates in the living room.
The kitchen, meanwhile, is a design gem: it looks like the cheapest kitchen in the Sims, with an island that looks more like a bedroom dresser.
The apartment also has a perfect space to set up a small office. And the bathroom? A shower with architectural barriers, suspended, but with stairs. After all, who doesn’t want a bit of extreme sport in their morning routine?
The sink is both for brushing teeth and washing dishes.
The bedroom is the jewel in the crown: a large skylight and a strip of red LED lights that is said to be therapeutic. Because, after seeing this apartment, anything that helps you relax is welcome.
