Montgat: Apartment/ flat - Montgat - BARCELONA

Rafael was an amazing host and very accommodating. Waking up to this beautiful view every morning and going to bed with this view every night was the highlight of the trip. The flat was well stocked with all the essentials of home, including a washing machine and dryer. Less than a 5 minute walk to the train station, you can be in the heart of Barcelona in about 20 minutes. Extremely quiet, lovely community with fabulous restaurants and friendly people. I highly recommend the restaurant at the Malamar Wakepark just past the train station. The sushi and pizza place just around the corner was also great and open late. Overall an amazing experience! Hope to visit Barcelona / Montgat again soon!

The apartment itself is lovely and clean and has everything you would need for a comfortable stay. The views over the ocean are gorgeous, it was lovely to have breakfast looking out over the sea. Being so close to the train station meant that you could be in central Barcelona in less than half an hour which was great. Rafael and his wife were very hospitable and made us feel very welcome.

The owners have done everything they can to make the apartment a nice place to be and I feel a little mean only giving three stars however I am unable our holiday five stars due to issues that are outside the owners control. Noise was a bit of an issue. We found the hum of the road and the noise of the train line tolerable, you didn't notice it after a short while & there is good glazing in the bedrooms that cuts out these noises. However, the bedrooms (master bedroom in particular) seem to be right next to the waste pipes for the entire apartment block and every time someone flushed a toilet in the apartments above you heard the rush of water. This woke us up several times a night unfortunately.

Montgat itself is a quiet place with great beaches that you access via an underpass to cross beneath the rail tracks. We walked all along the coast to Badelona one day which was lovely. There are restaurants in the town but unfortunately due to timings we weren't able to use them as their opening times didn't suit us. Two or three restaurants on the square were open during the day but closed in the late afternoon and evening, others we found opened too late for us as we have young children that aren't used to being up late.

One tip that I would have liked to have been given is to book tickets for all the sights in Barcelona in advance. Most of the places that we wanted to visit had sold all of their tickets for the day (and sometimes the next day too) before we got there so we were a little disappointed.

We spent a week in Montgat in October with our two young children. This was the perfect location for us as we could spend a few days in Barcelona, but also have a couple of days staying in Montgat and playing on the beach. It was so easy getting to the centre of Barcelona, a short walk to the train station, with trains running every 15 minutes. We had a very warm welcome from Rafael and his family; the apartment was great, very clean and well equipped, and we loved having breakfast on the balcony. There is a small supermarket a few minutes walk along the road, and a couple of restaurants. So glad we found this apartment, we would definitely stay here again!

We are very satisfied with renting this flat in Montgat. Everything worked perfect, from booking until we leaved the flat after a wonderful week. The flat is good located close to the beach and its also nice with the pool which we used almost every day. The flat is quiet and the terrace has a wonderful view.

In the evenings we took the Train RI from Montgat to Barcelona, it was very easy.

We can really recommend this flat.
