Marita's apartment was as good as it looks in the pics and she was very accommodating of our request to drop our bags off early. Montse who "checked us in" had no English (and we had no Spanish). For some people this might be a problem but we found it very, very funny. We were very lucky with the weather and lived on the roof deck and left the couch made as a bed for the duration of our stay. It truly was quite comfortable to sleep on. We would very happily stay here again if we find ourselves back in BCN.
