We stayed twice at Maria’s—before and after a trip to Mallorca. It worked well for our family of 7 (4 adults, 3 kids). We liked being in a neighborhood away from La Rambla that was close to transit (Metro L3 line). It was a short ride to go anywhere. Cousin Francesca greeted us warmly. The kitchen was stocked with basics and a bottle of wine, while the welcome notebook provided great tips. We loved the bakery 2 blocks away on Argentina, and the Asador restaurant in the upscale consulate area nearby. The kids (all of us) loved Tibidabo amusement park. Great trip!
