I was staying at Vanessa's place for 3 months and I absolutely enjoyed this apartment. First of all - excellent communication. Everything, that I asked for, was done immediately, check-in and check-out time was very flexible, I didn't have to worry about anything. Second - great location. It's about 5min from Pl. Catalunya and Las Ramblas and about 10min to the Port of Barcelona, so mostly I was walking everywhere around on foot. El Raval is a really busy area with a lot of people, but this apartment is located in a small street, so it's really quite, no problems sleeping at night at all. There are many private parking areas near the apartment. What is more, cleaning service here was excellent too. All in all, this apartment met all my expectations and second time I would choose it again for sure :)
