We loved staying with Maria! The room was clean and had everything we needed, plus her apartment is so cute. We felt so comfortable and cared for, as if we were staying with family :) Though the location is about 30 minutes away from the center by bus, it was very nice to be able to explore the center by day and then enjoy the calm and quiet of her neighborhood by night. I highly recommend for anyone looking to stay in a clean, comfortable and quiet room while exploring Madrid!
