Maria’s home is small but perfectly formed - a reflection of Maria herself. She was kind, warm and accommodating to a fault, making up & tidying our room daily, providing a variety of teas, instant coffee & milk, fruit, biscuits...everything as stated in the description. WiFi worked well. The location is ideal for visiting the 3 big art museums- Prado, Thyssen & Reina Sofia. It’s in the charming Barrio de las Letras which is full of tapas bars, cervecerias, upscale restaurants, chic shops & minimarts. Yet Maria’s apartment is quiet and safe. Most of the main attractions (palacio real, Plaza Mayor, opera house, La Latina, Casa Patas, etc) are within a 10-20 minute walk. We loved our 5-day stay with Maria and you will too.
