Al and Milla's place is in a very cool area- el Raval is full of hip places to eat and drink and is not full of tourists. It's a culturally diverse area and residents are from many corners of the world so you can get all kinds of authentic cuisines.
Although we had read that El Raval had a slightly less safe reputation, we felt safe as 2 girls wandering around at night.
The room is lovely - a little balcony and use of pretty shared kitchen and bathroom. Only shame was no air conditioning in the bedroom, but we had a little fan and opened the balcony doors!
Highly recommended! xxx
