I had one of the most rewarding experiences at montse's place. I learned a lot about the city and surrounding areas by sharing with Montse. She is a very kind, caring, versatile and interesting person. I appreciate her openness and help. We spent hours sharing our life experiences, joking and laughing. I definitely had both, the local and the tourist experience since her home is located in a very central area. You can walk (or take the bus) to the rambla, Sagrada familia, the beach etc. I felt at home staying at her place. I definitely recommend Montse's place.
