We had a great time in Marta's apartment. It was close to tourist spots, cool neighborhoods and not too far from the beach. We liked the location because of it's closeness to the metros and there were a lot of cafes and cervecerias nearby (that were not touristy and very reasonably priced). The apt. itself is great, nice space and very clean. We found the bed to be very comfortable and the AC worked well. The wireless connection is slow FYI, but not a big deal. Marta was a great hostess, who gave us great recommendations for places to see and neighborhoods to check out. We didn't need her during our stay but she was easily accessible if we did. I would highly recommend her place for a stay in beautiful Barcelona!
