Marita's place was fantastic, especially considering the price we had paid for our stay. We arrived slightly late due to airport delays and was greeted by her maid who showed us around and called Marita so that she could speak to us and answer any questions we may have. The flat was perfect - the photos do not do it justice! It was clean, modern and very well equipped. The terrace, as the other reviews mention, was lovely with views over Barcelona university and views of the mountains in the distance. It was an excellent base for trips to Las Ramblas (3 minute walk), the beach (approx 45 minute walk) and other great bars and restaurants nearby. Marita was easy to contact and checked in on occasion to see if we required any assistance. The only slight downside was the shower head which was slightly broken but again, this is extremely minor in comparison to the lovely apartment itself. We would definitely recommend and would love to come back when in Barcelona!
