We ended up finding this place last minute after another dishonest host canceled our reservation a few days before our trip (in order to relist is for more money). This turned out to be a blessing in disguise as Marta's place is big, clean, comfortable and well located. The neighbourhood is nice and calm and has everything you need nearby, but the location is still close enough to the main attractions that you can walk everywhere. Montse was also remarkably helpful and incredibly responsive - it was truly a pleasure to meet her. All in all, I wouldn't hesitate to rebook Marta's apartment for a future trip to Barcelona.
