Mercedes was very sweet! Very inviting and welcoming. She'll welcome you with a delicious glass of sangria. The Plaza Real Square is a great location. It is close to many restaurants, La Boqueria and other sights. Mercedes can even give you ideas on where to visit. There's a Metro station close by and it is not far from the Christopher Columbus statue (where cruise buses load/unload). It is a small room, but it fit our needs perfectly since my mom and I were just staying one night.
