Mercedes is an excellent & communicative host. She gave us clear directions to her penthouse apartment prior to our trip, which was extremely helpful as Barcelona is a big city. During our stay, she also gave us great recommendations for where we should visit (and how to save money!). Next time we visit, we will absolutely stay at Mercedes’. As a note: the pictures on the AirBnB page accurately represent the space we stayed in. It was very cozy, and I felt lucky to be staying in such a great part of the city.
