We were very lucky to stay at Mercedes' place. Location was the best in Barcelona and Mercedes' charm and generosity added to those of Barcelona itself. Although it was quite challenging for us, two 65+ people to climb those stairs, it was well worth it. Breakfasts were quite spectacular, a tradition to greet every new person with Champagne was unheard of, and Sangria Mercedes taught me to make will from now on be my favorite drink.

I would recommend Mercedes' apartment to anyone who comes to Barcelona to experience its life, art, architecture, and kind hearts of Catalonians.
