Marita's place is absolutely amazing. She's incredibly helpful and responsive, check-in was easy, and the views from the roof patio are really stunning. I wish we could have stayed here longer. Even though it's a studio, it is quite spacious and a couple could easily stay here for a week or more without any trouble at all. The shower is a nice size--not always a guarantee in Europe. The bed was also very comfortable, and the kitchen was stocked with everything you could need. But really, the patio is incredible. Even though we visited in December, we still spent a good amount of time out there. It's easily three times the size of the apartment and has lots of comfortable seating. Finally, the location is very nice as well. It's on a main street, but high enough that traffic noise isn't really a problem. Several metro lines have nearby stops, and the beginning of the Ramblas is just a few blocks away, as well as lots of shopping and great restaurants. I highly recommend staying at Marita's, and we'll definitely be back if we end up in Barcelona again.
