Montse and Toni are lovely hosts: warm, gracious and welcoming. Their apartment is spotless and perfectly located near transit, great restaurants and within easy access of major sites.
The guest room we had was very small and the only useable space is the bed so that is where you will be hanging out when in the apartment. Perhaps we could have made use of the living room/dining room but that felt intrusive.
We had a private bathroom down the hall which Montse cleaned every day. She thoughtfully hung our wet towels out to dry on the clothes line each day as well.
She provided a nice continental breakfast each morning which was an unexpected and welcomed surprise.
My only regret is my French is not good enough, nor was my companion’s Spanish, to engage Montse in a real conversation about changes she’s seen in Barcelona, local politics, and life under Franco. I’ve no doubt she has many interesting stories to share.
