I cannot imagine a better apartment + location + host situation in Madrid for 1-2 persons. The apartment is super cute and comfortable, well-equipped, sunny and clean, and it is located in lively Chueca, just three blocks from Gran Vía, within walking distance of all the downtown attractions and near the metro. Maria was incredibly nice and attentive, with excellent communication and a caring attitude towards her guests. I am glad I chose this place.
