Mercedes is a sweet, wonderful host! She lays out food for breakfast, has a beautiful balcony overlooking the city, and she has a wonderful dog named Stevie who soon became our best pal. The place is in a perfect location right in one of the main squares (I think it is referred to as the Gothic quarter) not too far from the beach and extremely close to the metro. The apartment is on the top floor but it is SO WORTH the walk up the stairs, because the incredible view off the porch combined with the quiet atmosphere is ideal. Highly recommend staying here!
