I cannot state just how close this place to everything I needed. The beach, the metro station, the shops, all within a 10 minute walk.
The price was also extremely cheap, especially considering the location where you can only find places starting at 2-3x the price.
However, there is a reason for this price, at least from my experience.
This was one of the most uncomfortable experiences I've had with any hotel or hostel or Airbnb of any kind.
Starting off with a 5hr delay in check-in, announced just the day before, I was left with strolling barcelona with my luggage until 8pm when I could finally go in.
The mess was just too much for me, but the worst were the dogs. There were feces on the floor and the smell of urine was too much too handle. The dogs would jump on my legs, and considering the above situation, I wasn't comfortable letting them touch me.
When I could sleep with the fan off, which was just one night as it was incredibly hot in the room, the dogs would wake me up, running or chewing or barking early in the morning.
As some other comments mentioned, the general cleanliness of the flat seemed non-existent, however the room I was in was tidy and the bed sheets clean, and I was provided with clean towels. I liked that.
I didn't have the pleasure of meeting Marianne, most comments say it was a wonderful experience, however we didn't meet during my stay.
It gets really hot in the room. Really hot. The window leads to an enclosed lightwell, so it doesn't provide any means of ventilation or relief from the heat. I found leaving it open would just allow the noise from the stairwell and the other flats to disturb my sleep.
The provided fan was almost constantly on, as it was the only way to get some airflow, it also drowned out the noise of the neighbours and dogs.
I found myself only spending the nights in the room and resorting to other places as a means to relax or rest during the day, as the space didn't feel comfortable for me and it was difficult to relax in such conditions.
