My daughter and I stayed 3 nights at Mara's apartment in Madrid. I would 100% recommend staying at this apartment. The apartment was beautifully decorated, sparkling clean and so comfortable for us. I felt very safe in this area and loved the fact that there was ample security, door locks etc. The apartment was so centrally located, everything was a 3-5 minute walk. We did not have the need to take a taxi or bus during our stay, we walked everywhere. Even at midnight, the streets were crowded and we felt very safe. The photos on airbnb we acurate and exactly how the aparment looks.
Our check-in was easy. Mara's husband met us. We arrived in Madrid around noon and were able to check-in at that time. Upon entering the apartment, we saw that Mara and her husband left us fresh croissants, a bottle of wine, fresh fruit, juice and water in the refigerator to welcome us. Our host gave us a briefing of the aparment and how things work. He gave us some pointers on places to eat and things to do. There is a journal that Mara had on the desk with more suggestions of things to do and places to eat. She also urged prior guests to make recommendations in the journal which we found very helpful.
We were very sad to leave the apartment and Madrid. We wished we could have stayed longer. The next time we visit Madrid, I will definitley stay at Mara's apartment again.
