Montserrats apartment was very clean and close to the hop on hop off tourist bus and only 300 metres from the Basillica Sagrada Familia. Our first impression was a positive one. Montserrat met us at the apartment, her husband showed us where to park and Laia, their daughter, was most helpful in translating Spanish to English. Montserrat had maps, information booklets and a comprehensive guide of sights for us to see. There is a supermarket just around the corner & plenty of restaraunts in the area at reasonable prices. We had a fabulous stay and would highly recommend Montserrats apartment, it was ideal for us, 2 couples travelling together.
