Mercedez is very friendly and helpful. The plaza is very full of life and is entertaining. The rooms are five flights up even though the apartment is listed as the 3rd floor. It is an eclectic mix of three rooms with a beautiful Golden retriever, Stevie Wonderful, to pet and love. The room was very hot and rather stuffy even thought there was an 'air conditioner' in the room. Very old ceiling with beams and a balcony you had to crawl through a very low door to get to. Right off La Rambla, which is insanely touristy in the summer. Worth the money as it is inexpensive and full of other travelers who love to talk. Breakfast was filling and great coffee.
