Mayra was a very thoughtful host and wonderful as well. Her place was 15 to 20 minutes walk from the bus station (estacion sur) and there is a train station 5 minutes away which goes directly to Sol station, which is where most of the sights are found. Her apartment was also very nice and she offered us free coffee and tea. She had a very nice terrace which offered all the nice views of the city. If I ever go back to Madrid again, I will most definitely stay with her again!
