Barcelona is a gem of a city with so many different facets, and Manuel’s flat is a great location from which to explore it. It is located on the Raval, which is a smaller version of the very tourist heavy Rambla just 2 blocks away.
The apartment is very simple and the bed is not particularly comfortable or designed for 2 people, even if they’re pretty small! It is also fairly noisy from the street, so would recommend earplugs.
But if you aren’t looking to just hang out in your room, this spot is a great deal and an amazing location.
