Clean, quiet (as quiet as central Barcelona can be) and the host was very communicative. A minimalist flat that provides a sanctuary in a busy city.
The location is so central and walkable to most everything. We stayed off Las Ramblas before but preferred this place for its non-tourist location (in as much as can said for Barcelona). We even walked home from an FCBarcelona match. So many good tapas places, cafes and bakeries nearby.
El Raval neighborhood is up and coming and we would gladly stay here again.
