Tony was a very accommodating host. He provided helpful suggestions and advice on things to see and do in Barcelona. For me, a mature woman traveling solo, the main issues were the 6 flights of stairs (although Tony was very helpful assisting with my luggage on arrival and departure), and the small size of the apartment which was shared with Tony. However the location was central within easy walking distance to many of Barcelona's attractions. There is a launderette close by as well as a myriad of cafés and other eating and drinking venues.
