Rut's place provided the perfect base for my visit to Barcelona - attending a conference at the international conference centre. The large open-plan space is modern with a hint of retro. The Nespesso machine was much appreciated. The plants provide a homely environment and the private outside terrace lets in loads of light and the window onto it from the bathroom makes the rainforest shower feel like you are almost in a rainforest!

The neighbourhood is pretty quiet and the location is very convenient for the conf centre (12 mins stroll) and the metro t have much time to explore the city but would certainly recommend the Basilica de la Sagrada Familia which is a 20 minute ride away on the metro - just book online before you visit.

Rut was very friendly and excellent at communicating both before and during my visit. I would definitely stay here again!
