Mercedes was extremely welcoming, and made us feel right at home. The location is central to everything- the immediate neighborhood is a bit touristy, but it's not difficult to get off the beaten path and find tons of interesting shops, restaurants, and attractions within a very short distance. This apartment is a great mix between a b&b and a hostel- everyone has their own bathrooms, but you can mingle with other travelers in the kitchen at breakfast, or on the spacious terrace. A great place for young people on vacation (and for anyone who is comfortable climbing over 100 steps to the apartment!) A sweet fluffy dog and wine on the terrace complete the experience.
