Montserrat and his flat are the best. If you watch Rick Steve's episode on Cataluya, his flat is located across from the bar that counts the tooth picks. I assure you that will make sense if you watch the episode. We made friends with the waiters and waitresses there. We made friends with the Espresso Mafia people. Talked to some pro cyclists. It was a great experience. I was really worried that it didn't have AC. We were there in early August--not an issue at all. It was tough to get your bikes up and down, but hey, welcome to Europe. Take your bike shoes off, makes it way easier. Great place, all around.
