Due to public transport missteps, we had to reschedule our arrival not once but three times; however, Montserrat was very understanding and accommodating and had no issue meeting us later in the day.

We were welcomed by her daughter Patricia when we arrived -- she was very friendly and helpful, showing us places on a local map and making recommendations for dinner and drinks.

The room itself was nicely decorated and quite comfortable. The only minor complaint was that the shower had a tendency to alternate between hot and cold, but it was a hardly a big deal given how warm the weather was.

In terms of location, it's about a 25-minute walk from the center and 20 minutes from the train station (Santa Justa). It's also very well served by public transport, with frequent local buses including the 01 to the city center and the C2 to the train station.

We wouldn't hesitate to recommend staying with Montserrat: it was a very pleasant experience.
