Elizabeth is a very warm and hearty person. She was welcoming and offered her help in anything, including some advice on where to go and what to do.
She also speaks perfect American-accent English, which turned out to be priceless, as Spaniards for the most part do not speak a word of English.
The studio itself is cosy and has all that one would need: a fully equipped kitchenette, a sitting area with a table, a comfy double-bed, and a compact shower. The shower itself does run on the small size and takes getting used to.
There is a window overlooking the inner court of the building, which means that there is no noise from the streets full of people partying until very late, and also keeps the place cool even on very hot days.
The studio is really a smaller part of a large apartment that was divided into 3 units that share a common hallway. While this in itself isn't really a problem, it does imply thin walls. So it feels somewhat less private than a standalone studio ir even a hotel room. It fits very well with people looking for a cosy place to crash in at the end of a long day in Madrid. I would not recommend it for couples on their honeymoon, though... ;-)
