The place is exactly as depicted - clean, great location, welcoming. 5 Stars
Rui is an excellent host and made me feel very welcome in Barcelona. He was easy to communicate with before arrival and helped me coordinate how to navigate from the airport to the residence. Upon arrival, Rui provided me with everything that I may have needed for navigating Barcelona and was more than willing to help with any questions that I had during my stay - about locations, places to see, restaurants to frequent, etc. The residence was extremely clean and about a 5 minute walk from the subway, which was ideal. Additionally, the apartment is very near Sagrada Familia, so every morning and evening I was able to see the remarkable architecture.
Rui was an excellent host and I would recommend him to any of my personal friends.
