La casa de Maria es algo muy especial. :) Estuvimos muy triste cuando tuvimos que partir. Maria, eres un angel! Has sido como nuestra mamita española, y nunca te vamos a olvidar! We were truly so happy to be here in this GORGEOUS home in Seville. Depending on where you want to go, it's a 10-40 minute walk to places of interest. It is located in a very quiet neighbourhood (which is so nice when you want to sleep well and not hear lots of street noises and cars), close to a beautiful park (seriously so beautiful and very close to the gigantic palace "plaza de espana"). It is in a neighbourhood with supermarkets, restaurants, cafés, everything you need. Wifi works great in the house. The bedroom was a bit small but not too small ;-) Awesome air conditioning, comfortable bed, everything impeccably clean. Maria really does everything to make you feel in a safe, clean, hospitable place. There was a bathroom right next to our room with a modern shower, perfect for us. The terrasse is something truly magical: so many pink flowers and vines climbing all over the walls, you truly feel in a quiet safe little haven :) Big kitchen with so much equipment, Maria came to talk to us a few times while we were cooking and she is the sweetest woman, discussing recipes with us and asking us questions about what we were cooking. She made me miss my mama back in Quebec (which I hadn't seen since last January). She was like our little Spanish mama ;-) I also feel like we met some great people (the other guests) in this airbnb. People from France, all over Spain, etc. We had great discussions around the table, having dinner and drinking wine together.
*** So you understand how this place works, because we thought before coming that it was a private room in the family's home, which it is, but they have a very very big home! It is separated in parts which guests don't have access to, and parts which are dedicated to their guests. They have quite a few rooms, and I think 3 floors. So you don't really feel like you're "imposing yourself" in their home and their personal space, it's kind of the perfect balance actually! Because you see them in the kitchen, in the garden/terrasse, but you don't walk around in their private bathroom and shower, which actually is better. To go to the kitchen, you must go downstairs, outside the main door, walk through the beautiful flowers and wall vines. Don't hesitate at all to book this place for your stay in Seville, you won't regret it.
