Mercedes and her dog Stevie are lovely hosts. She is very hospitable and aims to get to know her guests.
NB: There are 108 stairs, and no elevator just yet. I enjoyed the daily workout, going up and down to the penthouse, but someone with walking issues may not.
Rustic shared living space overlooks La Plaça Reial (where tourists and performers come to eat, lounge and play all day and night).
Clotheslines are available on the main terrace...and clothes dry quickly.
Being directly off of the Rambla, this bnb is central to everything Barcelona has to offer (even the beach).
