Mercedes was a delightful host who made me and my mate feel comfortable on our overnight stay. Travel fatigue may have added to the confusion in finding her apartment but once there, all was well. She graciously offered to help carry our luggage up the 100 or so steps to her apartment - with Stevie on paws to assist in the adventure (a lovely golden retriever who I couldn't help but fall in love with :-) The hike was well worth it, for the penthouse boasts a beautiful bird's eye view of the square. Breakfast was generous, with food options for those on dietary restrictions as an added bonus.

Thanks, Mercedes, for all you've done to provide us with an enjoyable experience in Barcelona!
