Mariona was super sweet and accommodating, especially when it came to finding a private garage for my motorcycle. Her apartment is in a quiet part of Barcelona that's close to some great restaurants. It's also big and airy, with plenty of space to relax and unwind (the balcony is a nice touch) and is very reasonably priced.

The only downside was the wifi wasn't working when I was there and the upstairs neighbors like really loud music (sometimes the downstairs ones, too). It is Barcelona, after all.
