Liked this apartment a lot. Its a nice cosy apartment in a great location.
All the facilities you need are there.

The only real negative is that the check-in was somewhat convoluted where you have to check-in at another location (that wasn't that easy to find), and then its not obvious where the actual apartment is (or where the entrance is from the alleyway). Getting into the building the first time is also complicated with various codes and keys, but once in its fine.

Overall would recommend though.

Cosy apartment in great location

We must have rambled around Barcelona for the guts of an hour trying to find this place! It was down a side road and was really difficult to find, the reception is nowhere near the apartment itself... when we got there, the apartment was fantastic, the balcony was huge! It is a typical studio apartment, inside isn't that big and it's a reasonable price.The location was pretty decent, the apartments are located right beside Basilica de Santa Maria del Mar, and there are quite a few cafes/restaurants around. There was a really nice restaurant directly across the lane, called La Reina, which is worth checking out.

Hard to find- great apartments, would definitely go back!

Stayed here for 5 days at the start of July. Took a good while to find the place, as its down a rather dodgy looking alley behind the Santa Maria del Mar and there are no signs. Had to call the company several times for directions and then the door code to get in, as the one they had emailed us on the day was WRONG! Luckily another guest heard us trying to open the door and let us in. We called them again and were luckily given the correct code. Decent apartment and had all the basics you needed. Not luxury, but the kitchen was well equipped and the room itself was nice enough. Bathroom was on the small side, but had a hairdryer and we just about managed. Free wifi was provided. They ask for a €250 deposit on arrival in case of damage, which is rather annoying, but understandable. 
The area of El Ravel itself is lovely! The location is right in the middle and there are lots of shops, bars and restaurants nearby. It's also about a 10/15 minute walk from the Barri Gótic area and the metro stations, making it very easy to get around the city. To the south is the Barcelonetta region and this is similarly about a 15 minute walk. Couldn't have asked for a better location and the apartments are cheap and do the job. Would definitely consider staying here again, now we know how to find it! 

Reasonable apartment in great location...once you find it! 

Unfortunately, complications begin with check-in. Their office is several blocks from the actual hotel. Block time to drag your luggage across cobblestone streets there and back before getting in. Despite having received approval to check in late, our key was misplaced by the staff, and we were left with a form implying that we owed $40 for late check-in. We found this not to be the case, but had to drop everything to walk to their office again. The hotel staircase's sewer smell is pretty awful. The room itself has been renovated and initially looks nice. However, electrical wires from a homemade extension cord beside and behind the bed were a little more than unnerving. The bathroom floor will
be wet as the space is small with zero airflow. If you are not a small person, you will literally be stepping over the toilet to get to the shower. The location is ideal. Bottles being smashed by the restaurant next-door at 2:30 in the morning each night is not. I would classify this as an nicer, private hostel room with a full-size refrigerator and kitchen counter. If you don't mind grabbing your flip-flops before going into the bathroom, you'll enjoy walking right out the door to the subway less than five minutes away.

Not ideal, complicated, smelly. 

The photos shown on the webpage are professionally done with much additional lighting.  The reality is much darker and not all the lights even work.  

The apartment did not smell but the photos cannot show the really bad (sewer type) odor upon entering the small foyer.  

They cannot show the surprise 250 Euro deposit demanded.  They can't show that the renter must sweep the floors before leaving under threat of losing their deposit.  The photos cannot show how dark and dank the walkway is into this 'street' (alley) nor the smell from the constant presence of dog urine.  (Yes, even though the street cleaners wash the street each night by 9am it already smells bad.)  

The photos do not show that there is not a single sign on the building indicating whom to call (if one is lucky enough to have a phone that works in Spain) nor that it is indeed even a rental unit.  We relied on the kindness of a German traveler who loaned us his phone to talk to the rude people that told us how to get in to get our key. 

They cannot show the surprise at seeing this listed as having a bar lounge on another website.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  There is no one even there.  Just a voice from Oz on the initial phone call and then a demanding email for our credit card number with a threat to lock us out (really??!!) if we didn't provide it.

Nor can it show the lovely plastic laundry bag with instructions for having your laundry done.  How?  No one came by or called or checked on us.  We would have no idea of what to do in case of fire or calamity.
