There are "too many" stairs to climb in Mercedes place. Trust me, they are too much. We had luggage with us so it was really a tough job. Frankly, I was a bit pissed off as soon as I entered her place because there was another couple staying there - It was actually a shock as I was expecting it to be a private place not a hostel. At that time we realized that it was actually a hostel and other "unknown" people. There were randomly people coming and going. On day one, she told us that we had a private bathroom (which was outside our room). However, there were other people using it freely. Mercedes was intentionally ignoring my complaints and didn't bother to ask other people to use their own bathrooms. The people staying there was very weird. Some didn't even bother to lock the bathroom doors and leave their stuff inside. After other people used the bathroom, the bathtub was such a bad shape that we didn't even take bath. Also, there was NO breakfast on any day. Overall, it was not a pleasant stay and not recommended to anyone. I'm surprised how people are writing such good reviews for this place. The description is kind of misleading. It should have been mentioned that other "random" people would also be staying there plus using your bathroom. This is just an honest opinion. Place might be good for people who are used to staying in hostels and sharing their place. We are not very pleased with Mercedes behavior. Wasn't expecting such a behavior from our host. Though I really thank her for the welcome drink, Sangria and a bottle of wine. I guess the kitchen was open to us as well but wasn't really sure whether we were to ask for the breakfast ourselves.
