The stay was beyond any reproach. Maria welcomed us like we were the family, even my very shy daughter felt she was at home ! It is hard to describe how accommodating Maria has been. When our friends got delayed, she has left them a dinner so that they would not have to go out and look for food that night. She advised us on the best routes in Seville, made wonderful breakfasts (to the point where we had one very picky eater child who demanded strawberries - she actually went out and got those just for him), helped us with every small and large question, and treated us to a wonderful homecooked dinner of paella another night (for a fraction of what we would have paid at a restaurant, at a home patio atmosphere and the friendliness of the hostess). We really want to go back soon !
