Mariona is a lovely hostess with very quick responses. The apartment was clean and she was kind enough to let us leave our luggage way prior to checkin time as well as checkout time- made such a huge difference as we were able to wonder in Barcelona without having to carry our luggage. Montserrat was super lovely to assist us with the information we were looking for.
As for the apartment, it’s really decent and has a well equipped kitchen. As for the area, it is super close proximity to the Metro, eateries and Grocery stores. Beach is few minutes away! Only two issues with the area was the smell (sometimes unbearable) and just behind the apartment there is a huge construction site.. so, it was loud (they start work bright and early)! We were only bothered by the noise on couple of days as our stay spanned over a weekend where there was no noise. Those two factors are beyond the control of Mariona though.
All in all, we had a great stay at Mariona’s place and would recommend this place.
