No, it is translated as ''We used to stay''. Here you're talking about something that happened in the past, but that something you're talking about is finished.
For example:
Cuando éramos pequeños, nos gustaba ver la televisión todo el día.
When we were little, we liked to watch TV all day long.
Here you use reflexive verbs because you're talking about yourself, and so you can be talking about him, or her, or they, etc.
She takes a shower.
Ella se ducha. (You're talking about an action she's performing by herself).
Also, ''used + to'' can be translated as ''soler'' in Spanish. For instance, if you want to say in Spanish ''She used to be smaller.'' you can say: ''Ella solía ser más pequeña.''
