Have you ever met Stevie Wonder for breakfast whilst on holiday? You haven't? Well we'll get back to this at the end of my review…
Mercedes has provided a fantastic jump-off location from this flat. The immediacy of the city is realised within a short walk from The Plaza which brings you onto The Ramblas in a snap! Although The Plaza itself deserves more than a passing glance and provides much doorstep entertainment that shouldn't be missed.
We stayed in two of the rooms at this flat over four days and found our host Mercedes to be charming with a disarmingly warm personality. We were invited to enjoy breakfast and evening drinks without much ceremony or fuss. A very homely touch! Whereas the amazing morning coffees did much to wake us up, the sangrias on the other hand didn't have to try so hard to tuck us back into our beds again by the end of the evenings.
Fortunately Stevie Wonder would greet us at breakfast every morning as we enjoyed our freshly brewed coffees. Yes he did! A very friendly dog (not the star) who was thankfully a lot quieter than the singer!
A stay at this flat will afford a quick knowledge of Barcelona's much loved Old and Gothic quarters, building a strong confidence to explore much of the other hidden gems in this fabulous city!
Just what you need on a short city break!
