We had a lovely stay at Montse's. The location meant we could pretty much walk to nearly all the sites we wanted to see. Montse was very quick to respond when we arrived and her son let us into the apartment quite promptly. The apartment has all the basics that you would need for a short stay. There were plenty of towels and the internet worked great. It was pretty cold when we went, December; there were two good working heaters, but only a couple of blankets so it was a little chilly at night, but bearable for a couple of nights. The drainage in Barcelona is old and not great everywhere, so there is a bit of stink that came from the bathroom. However, it's a cute, vintage apartment, and a bit of stink is easily put up with when in such a central location. All in all, we were very happy to be in a prime spot for all our adventuring needs.
