The apartment is in a hip, lively location in El Raval. The windows do a good job of keeping the outside noise down. Note that there is only a washing machine and no dryer. The washing machine is a bit tricky to use if you are not familiar with European ones, but Flor is very responsive and can answer your questions. It takes a long time to dry the clothes on racks inside the apartment because it gets cold in there (visited in early April). The host was nice enough to accommodate an early check in. The host was also thoughtful in providing us coffee, bottler water, and a bottle of wine upon our arrival. The place is very comfortable for two people. We had an issue with broken furniture, which we reported immediately, and the host was nice enough to show concern for our safety. The location and apartment itself felt safe. Overall, it was a great place to stay and we would stay there again.
