Great Location and Great Property Management

This area near the Gothic Quarter is a perfect location. Well within 0.5 to 1.5 mile walks to many attractions and the metro station. The Property Management were a wonderful team to work with and easy to communicate with.

Great flat located in Raval

The flat is perfectly located with some nice bars, restaurants and shops around. It is very well equipped, very clean and comfortable. From here it is easy to reach all the interesting spots of Barcelona. The communication was very friendly and organisation for the key was extremely easy. Super friendly host, always ready to help! Highly recommended.

Great spot

Away from the major tourist areas. It’s in Ravel but just a couple of blocks from Sant Antoní. Lots of interesting restaurants from upscale to neighborhood Indian. A hefty climb to get to it. No elevator

Wohnung ist OK

Leider ist die Gegend für Kinder nicht geeignet, wie beschrieben. Die Wohnung ist im 4 Stock, Treppenhaus Katastrophe, Umgebung ist auch nicht ohne, vergleichbar mit Frankfurter berühmter Gegend. Jedoch nahe City das war das positive dran. Wohnung an sich ist Okey würden wir aber nicht mehr buchen. Liegt aber auch am Preis, 20% überteuert würde ich meinen. Die Anbieter waren sehr sehr nett. Die Wohnung hat alles was man für einpaar Tage braucht.

gut, aber etwas zu teuer

das Apartment hat eine gute Lage. Die grüne und violette Linie verbinden alle Punkte sehr gut. Raval selbst ist unspektakulär, daher ist die Wohnung knapp 10% zu teuer. Die Kommunikation mit Alfredo war super über whatsapp. Schnell erreichbar. Sehr gut.

A week in El Raval

To touch on the cons a bit I will start by saying that it’s a pretty good hike up some stairs to get to the room. Not terrible especially because you’ll find yourself walking miles a day anyway through the streets of Barcelona. There is an unpleasant smell in the bathroom but I feel like that is a bit familiar in a lot of European toilets. One towel per person was all we were given for the week which I thought was a bit skimpy. The pillows were weak and no bathroom matt cost us one of our hand wash towels. In their defense they said we could call on them if we needed anything but figured too much a hassle for those small demands. Last part in the con department was that the neighborhood was a bit sketchy late at night. If your not going to be home by midnight I’d recommend a taxi to the door rather than taking a chance walking those dim lit alleys. The apartment is a bit smaller than portrayed in pics but still sizable and the kitchen functional although you’ll find yourself eating out mostly. I’m sure you’re thinking to yourself that there’s nothing positive about this review and that it merits a one star. The fact of the matter is that it’s in a great location in terms of getting around to La Rambla the gothic quarter and tons of public transit. Here’s the reality.... you’re in Barcelona and it’s an amazing city to explore. Your time at the room should be minimal and the cons are really for sensitive people who are maybe a bit more used to hotel services. You could probably do a bit more research and find a better situation at this price point but at the end of it all I was really pleased with the overall stay here. I’d definitely recommend to friends and adventureous travelers. Probably not a good idea for seniors or families traveling with children. The staff was also super friendly and informative! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Why they chose this property

This vintage style apartment takes it´s name and inspiration from Miquel Pallés, a famed florist and activist who lived in this very neighbourhood. It has been decorated and maintained in a way that reflects the personality of the area which he held very close to his heart. In fact, just a few minutes down the same street on which the apartment is located, you will find a small square named in his honour - “Placeta de Miquel Pallés”.

The Casa de la Florista includes all the amenities needed to experience an authentic stay here in the city. With a fully equipped open kitchen (complete with all basic appliances, utensils and a Dolce Gusto coffee machine), you can enjoy cooking the fresh, local produce that you find as you walk the streets of the Florist´s beloved neighbourhood, Raval. Culinary hotspots such as the infamous Mercat de la Boqueria are even located practically on your doorstep. The open plan dining area accommodates up to four guests and can also be used as an office space.

The Casa de la Florista is also equipped with High speed Wi-Fi internet, Air conditioning, cooling fans, a 32Inch LG LED TV and an Amazon Fire stick. Access to my Amazon Prime TV and Netflix accounts are readily available, but you are also welcome to use your own Netflix, HBO or other accounts with it!
Fresh towels and bed linen will be provided on arrival to the Casa de la Florista, and to make your stay as convenient and comfortable as possible there is also a washing machine and utilities such as an iron, ironing board and hair dryer.
It is important to note that as this is a typical old style Barcelona building, there is no elevator access up to the apartment
