Although I didn't get to meet Maria as she was on holiday during my stay there, she kept in touch with me electronically at all times and made me feel incredibly welcome. Her son welcomed me to the house and gave me access to all amenities in the house. The room was wonderful and the location is great; allows for a great walk through e Gracia to the seaside, and Gracia in itself is beautiful! Absolutely recommended. Maria is such a warm-hearted and soft-spoken host.
