We were a group of 4 staying at Marta's apt. She was there to greet us upon our arrival. She gave us a map of Madrid with tips on restaurants close by, flamenco shows and travel by the Madrid Metro. She responded quickly to my text. She's a wonderful host.
The apt is on the 4th (US definition) with an elevator (great with luggage!). The whole building seems to have been renovated recently. The apt has 2 baths which is great. It is spotless and clean which is very important to me.
The location is absolutely fantastic. It is 1/4 mile away from the Plaza Mayor and is basically in the center of all the attractions. We walked to most of the attractions and restaurants. The Rastro flea market, held on Sundays, is only 1 block away.
The location is safe. Even though its in a busy location the bedrooms are quiet and you will be able to sleep. We made great use of the washer for clothes. Bear in mind that most European apts do not have dryers and clothes are hung dry.
We would definitely stay here again!! Thanks, Marta for being a great host.
