We visited Barcelona and stayed in Mercedes' wonderful apartment in the centre of Barcelona in Plaza Reail. It was perfectly located.. easy walking distance to markets, shops, public transport, renting bikes and cycling to the beach. She is so lovely and hospitable, we got spoilt with Sangria and a special homemade lesson in making spanish omelette. How lovely!! Her apartment is clean, inviting and rather quiet being in the heart of the city .. this place fulfil every traveler's need. I would highly recommend staying with Mercedes. She gave excellent travelling tips throughout our stay. Thank you Mercedes! We were blessed to discover you and your place as a gem in the heart of Barcelona.
