David is a great host and this was the easiest and best experience I've had in terms of communication and organisation - very smooth. David was there (before us) to check us in, and let us know he was on hand if we had any issues. We enjoyed staying in El Raval, its an interesting district and the apartment is close to bars, restaurants and walkable to the centre of Barcelona, or a short bus ride to the beach. The apartment was clean and the tidy, and pretty well equipped for its size. The block has a lift and is actually quite quiet as it faces into the internal courtyard. If you want a place to stay as a base to explore Barcelona this is a good choice.
