We chose this area as we know it well. We chose this apartment because it said it had everything that we required and it didn't disappoint ... It was great and Montse was lovely, really helpful providing us with answers to any questions that we had and doing her very best to help in any way that she could. This is a great area, far enough from the madness of the wonderful city but close enough to hop on a bus, tram or the metro to get your culture fix. I would advise anyone and everyone to hire cycles - the best way to get around by far!
