Mercedes is an excellent host! We stayed with her for 6 nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The room was comfortable with a private toilet and had a cute little private terrace with an outdoor shower. Some mornings we would enjoy our breakfast on our private terrace, or eat with the other guests on her large terrace overlooking placa reial. The breakfast she provided was excellent; so much variety! She also made a different sangria each evening and they were all very delicious. The location of her apartment was so perfect. It is in the center of the gothic quarter so there are many restaurants and shops within walking distance. We recommend booking the runner bean free tours which meet at the fountain, literally steps from the front door of her apartment!The metro station is also only a few minutes walk away so it was very easy to travel throughout the City. Mercedes is such a genuine, kind and sweet women. She assisted us with transportation to and from the airport, and also gave us some travel advice and recommended some restaurants that we enjoyed. Her dog Stevie was also very cute and gentle. We would definitely stay with Mercedes again in the future and we would highly recommend booking with Her!
