Location, location, location! What a great location for our trip to Barcelona! It was so easy to get to and from the airport. We were really in the heart of the city and were able to quickly get anywhere we needed to be. We had 2 metro stops close by (within a block or 2) and plenty of restaurants to choose from. Our favorite days were when we could go to the Boqueria Market for breakfast and then wander off to find something specific only to get lost and discover things that may not have made our list to see. We selected Marita's because of the large outside area and we were not disappointed. A few times we came back to relax before heading back out only to eat too much of the delicious Spanish cheese, bread and olives! We had the pleasure of meeting Marita when we arrived. There was one small item that needed attention and although I felt it could wait until after our stay Marita went out of her way to make sure it was taken care of before we left. We stayed for a week and the bed was comfortable so no worries there. The view from the room was fabulous. We loved being able to see up to Tibadabo and when staying at Marita's you really feel like you live there.
