We did not meet Tony because he was on holiday. However, Marco, his roommate, took care of us. The flat is located in a great location from which it was easy to explore Barcelona by public transport. The neighborhood is very lively - which also means that it can get noisy at night. We did not mind too much, but it might be a problem when you do not want to close doors and windows (e.g. when it's hotter outside). The room is tiny but in principle there is everything you need. All in all I would recommend this place for a short stay in Barcelona, but would look for a quieter area next time.
