I stayed with Montse almost 2 weeks and it was a great experience. She met me with a big smile and a warm welcome the first day and she was very kind and helpful throughout my stay. She helped me a lot with my spanish and even invited me for a tapas dinner one evening. The apartment is big and spacious and the location makes it posible to walk to the beach and to la rambla which takes around 20-25 minutes.
She has a cat but it is very quiet and calm. I can highly recommend staying with Montse. She is such a nice and warm person! :)
