It doesn't mean ‘like’, but ‘please’, which in English takes a direct object (not an indirect one) that cannot be replaced with a prepositional phrase: Me habría/hubiera gustado ir = To go/going would have pleased me = I would have liked to go. | |

Thanks for your response! I understand from this and from the comments above that I certainly needed me rather than yo. Nonetheless, the main reason I asked was to distill the reason why hubiera is a better option than habría. Can you elaborate on why me hubiera gustado ir is better than me habría gustado?
