We were welcomed by a man, my assumption is that was Marias husband. He was very welcome and accommodating. He made sure to explain everything to use and even though there was a language barrier he really made an effort to make us understand. Their home was just as described and a bit better. The flat was very neat and is literally 2 minutes away from Gran Via. Even though the flat is close to central you do not hear any noise from central in the flat due of the location. I would recommend this place to anyone wanting to spend time in Madrid. We enjoyed our time in Madrid. Thank you
