Maria's place is perfectly located to explore Barcelona on foot, with parks, the gothic quarter, and the beach all within comfortable walking distance. For trips further afield, the metro is incredibly close, and the nearby bus direct to Park Guell was great. There are two supermarkets within 2 blocks, and the same for parks. We stayed with two kids (a 3yo and a 3mo) and the place was perfect for them. Our 3yo loved playing in the kids room, and a portacot was thoughtfully provided the kitchen was modern and served us perfectly. We would highly recommend Maria's place for young families and others who want to explore Barcelona.
