Staying in Mercedes' home was an experience itself. Her home was in a hip, trendy and touristy part of town. There were plenty of restaurants downstairs. Her loft was very cozy and has a unique character to it. We went on the balcony which has a gorgeous view of the plaza downstairs. Although we did not choose the room with the private bathroom, it was almost like we had our own private bathroom as we were the only people using the bathroom next to our bedroom. Breakfast and happy hour (cocktails and snacks) were offered. Mercedes was very kind. I can tell she opens her home because of her personable character. She gets enjoyment out of explaining to guests what Barcelona has to offer. I would love to come back and stay at this place again.
