Exactly what our group of 8 needed
Pros: David, the host, was brilliant and super helpful with suggestions and replying to questions. Location is amazing; just off a busy street, and within walking distance to many shops and restaurants, but still very, very quiet at night. The property is very thoughtfully designed (for example, David installed air-conditioning in the living room for the warmer months). WiFi was good enough to work with. There are ingredients left behind from previous guests, like salt and pepper which we were free to use. David also gifted us with a bar of chocolate and a bottle of Brut, thank you! I liked the fact it felt like a home away from home; we got comfortable there very quickly.
Cons: I wish the shower water pressure was a little stronger but I totally understand about old buildings!

Big comfortable apartment in El Raval
Pros: We are a family of 3. We had a 2 bedroom apartment in an older building. David our host was great. Met us outside and showed us around the flat and gave us excellent local recommendations. Handy to everything. 5 minutes walk to Aldi. 5 minutes to dozens of great tapas bars. Gothic Quarter and Guell Port is 10 minutes walk. Mont Juic is a bus ride away or you can walk there in about half an hour. Sure there are drunks and homeless around but they keep to themselves. Street always seems to have a lot of rubbish lying around. The apartment was comfortable for 3 people. Plenty of space to relax. There are some things that need repair but it's not The Ritz. Full kitchen is handy. We didn't use the stove or oven but did use nespresso, microwave and toaster. Washing machine and drying rack came in handy because we were there for a week. It's pretty quiet considering the busy streets outside.
Cons: The uneven flooring near the kitchen was annoying. The shower wall tiles are not ceramic and are lifting. They need to be replaced. But those are just minor annoyances.

Pros: - very friendly and helpful host. We could even check out a bit later. Thank you for that. - great location. Just 10 min to La Rambla Street and 5 min to the metro station. - all kitchen facilities were available if you want to cook sometime. Also washing machine (we did not use) - Smart TV and fast Internet - apartment was very calm and we could sleep very well. - clean and bright apartment - elevator in the building
Cons: - some days we were putting heating during the night and in the morning some windows were wet. It is most likely because of the Mediterranean climate over here. We were just a bit afraid that we are doing something wrong and we do not know it from the northern Europe houses. But it is more like our thoughts than minus.
