Mercedes home is centrally located to shopping, restaurants, and public transportation. The hostess is very welcoming and provides you with very helpful information as far navigating through the city. She will also recommend places to go see/visit which I thought was very nice. You do have to climb up several flights to get to her home as there is no elevator. Therefore, just be aware if your mobility is limited. Also, It did get hot one of the nights which made it uncomfortable to sleep but once I mentioned it to the hostess she took care of the issue. Overall, my experience was great and would definitely recommend.
