House Hunters International Season 153 Episode 9 Cruising to Barcelona

Avid travelers, Rachel and Brandon, are embarking on a new adventure by selling all their possessions and setting sail on a boat to live a life at sea. Their first port of call - Barcelona, Spain. With their love of exploring new cultures and hunting for unique experiences, Rachel and Brandon turn to House Hunters International to help them find the perfect place to moor their boat.

The couple's budget is flexible, but they're looking for something under $500,000. They want a modern and comfortable apartment that's within walking distance to the marina where they plan on docking their boat. They envision themselves sipping cava on their balcony and enjoying the vibrant Spanish lifestyle.

Real estate agent, Ramon, takes Rachel and Brandon to three different apartments. The first property they visit is a two-bedroom apartment in the trendy neighborhood of El Raval. With stunning views of the Gothic Quarter and open-plan living, Rachel and Brandon are impressed with what this apartment has to offer. However, Ramon reminds them that the area can be noisy with tourists, which might not be the ideal situation for them.

The second apartment is located in the neighborhood of Gracia. This four-bedroom apartment has plenty of space for guests, and the large terrace is perfect for al fresco dining. With a bohemian and artsy vibe, Rachel and Brandon are intrigued by the neighborhood's charm. However, they think the location might be too far from the marina, which is a must-have for them.

The final apartment is located in the heart of Barceloneta, a charming neighborhood that's perfect for yachties. The property is steps away from the beach, and the interior is beautifully decorated with an industrial-chic aesthetic. With a budget of $500,000, Rachel and Brandon think this apartment ticks all the boxes. However, there's one downside - it's located on the fourth floor, and there's no elevator.

After much consideration, Rachel and Brandon decide to put an offer on the apartment in Barceloneta. They love the location and the apartment's character and are excited to begin their new life in Spain.

Overall, cruising to Barcelona proves to be an exciting adventure for Rachel and Brandon. With stunning views, scrumptious food, and a vibrant culture, Spain has become a new home for the couple. The episode showcases the beauty of one of Europe's most enchanting cities, and how House Hunters International helped one couple find their perfect home.
