Mariano's place is right smack in the middle of the city yet it is oh so peaceful at night. The apartment is very stylish, complete with everything a traveler would need and the best of all, the host is one of the kindest I have ever met. Mariano is superb, he even prepared snacks for us. If there is anything else you would need, there are grocery stores nearby. There is one right across Mariano's apartment. The place is very near Plaza Mayor, Puerta del Sol and even Gran Via for some serious shopping. I love Mariano's apartment and would definitely recommend to all!
