We had a great stay with Mercedes in Barcelona! The location of the apartment is great, in the gothic quarter, surrounded by shops, bars, restaurants and in walking distance to the beach and metro stations to see sights like the Sagrada Familia. The apartment is on the top floor of the building so the climb up and down is a bit intense but it’s not too bad, and when we arrived Mercedes offered us a drink which was nice. We arrived early in the morning but we were able to drop off our luggage and then go and have a look around until our room was ready at 12:30 which was great. The room was small but very nice and comfortable bed, however our room did get very hot and the fan helped slightly but the air con (which was not in our control) was off for our room which was a bit annoying as again it was quite hot, but bearable. Mercedes is very friendly and helpful giving us information about the city, where the sights are and the best routes etc, upon arrival. She has two cats and one dog and they are all very friendly! One downside was that we could not lock our bedroom door when we went out during the day which, even though the other guests seemed friendly, was a bit worrying as we had all our luggage and personal items, such as documents which we did not want to bring out into the city, in there, so a lock on the door would have been great. But overall it was a great stay and we would definitely return!
Thanks Mercedes
