Maria is a wonderful host and adorable person who exudes warmth and friendship. The apartment turned out to be a luxurious VILLA!!! It was absolutely beautiful and very sociable where we sat in the courtyard and met very interesting people. The location was superb, just next to the Plaza Espanya and within walking distance to the cathedral , the Alcazar and the quaint old quarters of Sevilla. The room was lovely and had an adjoining terrace.
