Mercedes is a wonderful host and person. She was extremely helpful and generous in giving her time to tell us a bit about the history of Barcelona and giving us a map and pointing out great things to do during our stay. Her love for her city is admirable. She Is a kind person with a big heart and she and her beloved dog Stevie were a bonus to our fun stay in Barcelona. Her place is in a wonderful and convenient location and is very clean. We recommend staying here! :)
