Mercedes is a charming host with a wonderful bed and breakfast accommodation centrally located near the gothic quarter. Our room was as comfortable and clean as we could have hoped for. Mercedes' Sangria and her apartment rooftop terrace overlooking Placa Reial are highlights of our Barcelona trip. We will visit Barcelona someday and will hopefully be able to stay with Mercedes again. Be aware that the building does not have an elevator so there are approximately five flights of stairs. It is definetely worth the climb if you are able.
