Robertos place was great. It is not in the main downtown area of Barcelona but just a quick metro ride into town, and the metro stop is right around the corner so it makes it easy to get around. Also, the train station is just a 10 minute walk from the apartment which makes it great if you are going to another city after your stay(we left for Madrid and just walked to the station with our luggage no problem) As other people mentioned there are a lot of stairs(about 8 flights)but the view from the apartment is beautiful. The apartment itself has everything you need for a lovely stay and is very clean and comfortable. Roberto was great with communication and even made it work so we could check in early after our long flight which was amazing.
