Communication was fabulous and every effort was made to make our stay as smooth as possible. Raval is really vibrant, interesting area and fabulously located for exploring all the highlights of Barcelona. Out of our 5 day stay (other than to and from airport), we only needed to use the metro for one day, exploring by foot all the others. The apartment is small but spotlessly clean and our bedroom had everything we needed plus the lovely balcony. Al and Mila were kind enough to allow us to have a flexible check out time as our flight wasn’t till the evening and they hadn’t got other guests checking in that day plus my Mum unfortunately left her mobile in the room and they straight away got back to me to let it know it had been found and to arrange it’s return. Excellent base for exploring a fabulous city.
