Penthouse living in a city as vibrant, arty, and energetic as Barcelona is something we don’t take lightly. Pair this with hotel-like services, a prime location, and an apartment rental agency that makes renting a holiday vacation unit easy, and you have DestinationBCN, whose Marimon penthouse is second to none. It is a short stroll away from some of the city’s iconic landmarks and reigns at the top of a building on Diagonal’s palm tree-lined avenue. The area has recently undergone renovations and has a fine selection of interior design stores, fashion houses, and cute places on the nearby quaint streets.
Anne Nijstad not only runs the day-to-day management of the apartments via her company DestinationBCN, she is also an interior designer. She is responsible for the uniquely designed boutique suites. It is no surprise to hear that she has a fashion and graphic design background, as the clean, fresh, yet cosy aesthetic is second to none and is in keeping with DestinationBCN’s philosophy of having “Nordic influences paired with Mediterranean soul”. The team is welcoming, and we must say that Anne is effortlessly cool. You feel like you’re staying at a stylish friend’s holiday place and can’t help but want to immerse yourself and live like a local.
