This was our first time using AirBnB and Mariano made us feel completely at ease. We had a fantastic time in Madrid and Mariano was a fabulous host - he helped us to settle in well and gave great suggestions of places to go. After a delayed flight, water in the fridge and a full fruit bowl was much appreciated. The apartment itself had good air con and kept us cool even in 40'C heat.The apartment was well within walking distance to the metro or sightseeing in the day; as well as bustling bars at night.We had no problems with noise. I would thoroughly recommend Mariano's place - a gem in a very 'hip' location.
