My boyfriend and I stayed in Mercedes home in September 2015 she is a warm friendly generous host. the location is the best. keep in mind you need to go up 108 steps to get to her place she is located on the top floor with a beautiful birds eye view Terrace. Sadly during my stay I was bitten by bed bugs. Yes I saw them. I have since been in contact with Mercedes and she has assured me that she has sprayed her home and will repeat the treatment next week. I looked at other September reviews and no one else shared my problem. It is possible the guest that stayed before me brought them in. Travellers do spread these critters. Bed bugs can be anywhere. I still recommend her place as everything else was superb including her dog Stevie.
