Oriol and his mother Montes are absolutely lovely! Although I can’t speak Spanish and neither of them could speak English, we still managed to communicate via google translate and they still tried so hard to be helpful and were always so hospitable. Leading up to my trip their sister/daughter was able to send me instructions in English which were very helpful to find their home from the airport. Although I rented a private room, it felt like a private apartment with my upstairs section almost always private and to myself. The house is a short walk to Joanic metro and very practical to get around to anywhere. I’d highly recommend this place to any solo traveler!
