Location is everything!! close to everything we want to visit in the center, la rambla and la boqueria is within 10 mins walk away . el raval is a charming area, we liked it a lot. can be noisy but definitely not an issue for us, makes the area more alive! supermarkets, bakeries, cafes and restaurants all around. the apartment is artsy and comfortable but dont expect anything fancy. Vir is a great host, let us check in early and leave our bags at the end till our flight, communication is easy and fast. would recommend for anyone who likes to visit around!
