Maria Jose's apartment is located in a really great area with lots of amazing bars and restaurants nearby. The space itself was clean and comfortable and although we never met Maria Jose (Pepa) in person she was very helpful with lots of helpful details about how to get to the apartment and the checkin was very easy. The bed upstairs was really comfortable - though the stairs to the mezzanine level are very steep. We honestly didn't use the kitchen as there were so many great cars and restaurants nearby (Ia bicicleta for brunch fantastic and Ia Pescaderia for tapas too). We were in Madrid for work and the internet connection was great. The only down side is the climb up to the 4th floor, not great with suitcases but on the plus side the staircase itself hs a lot of charm. Would definitely stay again.
