The apartment was clean, well equipped, and comfortable, and El Raval is in easy walking distance to many landmarks and shops. As noted in the listing, it’s a neighborhood in transition. I have lived in transitional neighborhoods and am typically comfortable staying in transitional locations while traveling. However, I will note that as a solo traveler, I would have appreciated knowing that the apartment is located in a dimly lit alleyway where people tend to loiter as this would have influenced my decision to book. I communicated this to the host, and they replied that they would consider updating the listing with this information.
