we enjoyed our stay at this Montaber apartment. the apartment looks just as it appears in the profile photos. it is full of light (but has black-out curtains for those who want to sleep-in), centrally located (next to la ramblas, barri gotic and el born neighborhoods), and was very quiet. the bed was heaven after a long day!

communication with Montaber was prompt, although as a heads-up you will be in communication with a few people. we only mention this because we were a little confused when we received messages through whatsapp from our host and then were met by different people who lead us to the apartment.

there are 3 floors of narrow stairs with a mezzanine level which meant climbing 4 flights of stairs every day. this was fine for us, but we feel it is worth mentioning.

unfortunately - the wifi reception is slow, especially the further away you are from the apartment entry door. as we found out, the wireless router is in the adjacent apartment which explained the slow reception. this is a particularly important feature to mention since our main wifi connection while in Barcelona was at the apartment.

overall, we would recommend this apartment. it was a perfect retreat, at a reasonable price, after long days of touring Barcelona :)
