Four of us stayed in Montserrat's place for four nights on a girls' trip. This is a brilliant wee apartment for a city break. The location is superb with a metro stop practically on the doorstep giving easy access to all the city highlights. We did a lot of walking around too as it's so centrally located (E.g. La Rambla is only a 12 minute walk) so if you are looking to explore the city it's a great place to stay. It's stocked well with all the necessary amenities, we particularly appreciated the air-con after a day's trekking round Barcelona. It is up 5 flights of stairs so I'm not sure how feasible this would be for a young family, however this information was clear when booking and we didn't mind the stairs, it made us feel better about sampling all of the delicious food and sangria Barcelona has to offer. The surrounding area is full of little bars and restaurants and it's very easy to find somewhere good to eat and drink nearby, plenty of little supermercados around too, to fill up the fridge with treats and wine. Montserrat was a fantastic host, very quick to respond to any of our queries and gave lots of useful recommendations on places to visit/try/eat in/avoid. We took her up on her suggested trip to the mountain of Montserrat and had a really wonderful day trip, don't miss seeing this if you have time, the area is spectacular. All in all we had an amazing trip, Barcelona is a beautiful and friendly city and the Catalan people were warm and welcoming. I'd highly recommend both it for a visit and Montserrat's place as a super base to explore the city and surrounding area ❤️
