I chose this place because of the patio, and great view of old town. I had never been to Barcelona, and Roberto's place is right in the middle of everything I wanted to check out. You can venture in any direction, and quickly get lost in the beauty and culture that is Barcelona. It's very secure, with an elevator, and even on hot days, the air conditioning will cool the place off quickly. Warning: watch out for the somewhat low door threshold going out to the patio. I managed to bang my head on it at least once a day. Aside from that, the place is perfect for one or two people, and Roberto is an awesome host. Enjoy Barcelona.
