We spent a very enjoyable week at Carlos' place in the Raval. The location is great - walkable to most central Barcelona sights and very close to the Boqueria market. The apartment was clean and a nice blend of old architecture with a modern bathroom. It was spacious and our family of 4 (2 kids) enjoyed having separate beds for the kids. We used the Moka pot daily for our morning coffee and listened to the sounds of the city in the morning and walked to restaurants at night. Overall, I would recommend this place for people who want a location close to central old Barcelona, with kids and if you like a little space.
