We appreciated Ralph's very fast response to our request for a booking within 12 hours. However, Ralph was not at the apartment to meet us and instead sent an assistant. The apartment is poorly furnished given the price being charged. We have stayed in many other apartments in Rome, Paris, etc and found this one lacking in value. The towels are old, dishes are a mish mash, there is no AC in the bedrooms, the master bedroom is noisy due to the street. The whole apartment electricity went off on the first night. I contacted Ralph by phone and email, but did not get a response for three hours. We solved the problem ourselves with help from neighbors. There was no dish washing soap and we ran out of toilet paper. The apartment is centrally located with most Barcelona sights within walking distance. There is a subway at the corner. Supermarkets, bakeries, fruit stores, banks, etc. are all very convenient. There was a safe in the apartment which were not allowed to use. The balcony doors do not lock securely. A significant upgrade to the apartment is needed in order to justify the pricing. We would not recommend this place to others.
