We were only there to spend Christmas and the New Year visiting our son and family who live in Barcelona, not to do the tourist scene which we have done countless times in the past. The location close to the top end of Carrer Muntaner, away from the congested centre, was perfect for us and Marta's place was within easy walking distance of our son's apartment. Simply chilling out with family and small grandchildren, we tended to bed late at night and rise late morning so as not to crowd the family too much. Room was confortable, ditto the bathroom a decent size, and not that we need very much but Marta was always helpful. A bigger window with more daylight would have been welcome, it was small and looked over a very narrow inner well and as we were on the ground floor so unless you hung out it was difficult to see the light. But city life can often have these drawbacks. On the plus side the room as very quite and we slept well. All in all we were happy.
