We did not find Marija's place to be accurately represented. It is not in "the heart" of the Gracia neighborhood. It is tiny and cramped. The room has a bed that is too big for the room and therefore there was no way to open our suitcases in the room (except on the bed) and no way to organize in any way. The outside noises were very loud all night. After two nights of inability to sleep, we had to leave early to go to a hotel for our last night. There is a dog in the apartment--although we rarely saw it, any body who is allergic to dogs should know this. We would not recommend Marija's place.
