Mariona's place has a beautiful terrace and an excellent location for exploring Barcelona. It is surprisingly quiet, considering the central location. Mariona is very helpful and an excellent communicator. The apartment was missing a few essentials that we had to purchase (toilet paper the first night there) and the furnishings were economical. Unfortunately, it hadn't been cleaned well before our arrival and we had to spend our first day cleaning the kitchen and floors. Overall, it's a great spot if you're looking for an be affordable place in a terrific location.
