Maria´s place is very centric and well connected, one can easily move from Maria´s place by taking the yellow line at Jaume I. Maria is lovely and usually helps you out, if the guest needs something. Also, Diana (her Dog) is lovely and warm. Like other guests have mentioned, Maria´s place is good to practice Spanish if you are between Intermediate and Beginner. I advise this place for short-term as well as for long term staying for sure.
