The apartment in Escala was very nice. Montse and his wife were very welcoming despite our lack of Spanish! It was an ideal size for our family of 3 although I think it would be a bit of a squeeze for any more than 4 people. It was nice being so close to the beach and there are other lovely beaches very close by. The only drawback for us was the noise from the street - the apartment is near a fairly busy junction and could be noisy when trying to sleep at night.
