Francis’ apartment is the best base to explore Barcelona! We stayed for 5 nights in the big, stunningly-designed apartment along with a few other ‘private room’ guests.
Francis gave us a full tour on arrival, was around the apartment some of the time for small requests and otherwise responsive by message.
The whole place is cleaned daily by 1-2 cleaners, meaning the shared kitchen and 2x bathrooms were never dirty or untidy.
The location in El Raval was great for us exploring in the different areas around Barcelona. Its a quiet, but safe street just off Las Ramblas. On the weekends, there was free live music in the surrounding 4 plazas with cheap drinks and food!
Simple stuff was also strong like soft towels, super fast wifi, a common-space table for laptop work and strong A/C.
For the price, this place is an excellent stay and we would definitely stay again!!
