Maria's place is what you're looking for if you want to be centric and close to the main tourist attractions. Las Ramblas is a place not to miss when visiting Barcelona and this apartment is literally by it. We had our own bathroom as well which is great as you don't have to worry about sharing with anyone else. It is true that the pictures looked only slightly different and also it got quite hot during the night, we had higher expectation for the price being, but I guess the price is more about the location. However, our visit was nice and María was a very nice host.
