Maria was a wonderful host! This adorable apartment was spectacular! Location was central to everything we wanted to do in Madrid, restaurants, trendy neighborhood and Gran Via. Easy train ride from Atocha central station. The apartment decor and furnishings made us feel like we were experiencing what is like to live like a local in Madrid. Those mini balcony windows so authentic and refreshing. The bed was comfortable downstairs. We didn't use the upstairs. A cold water pitcher was ready for us in the refrigerator on arrival and all instruction for getting in were easy. We have already recommended this place to a friend to stay on their trip to Madrid!
