Jud is a lovely and attentive host, very responsive to requests and looking out for your needs. The apartment itself is clean and well-maintained, my favourite feature was the private terrace on the roof which is a fantastic space for dinner and a glass of wine in the evening. There is also little balcony in the apartment to perch and chat with your neighbours if you want to - really get into the Barcelona lifestyle! I'd describe El Raval as "lively", so great if you are looking for a holiday a stone's throw from great bars and tapas with the beach is still an easy tube ride away.
