Maria's apartment is located in a lovely, central area of Madrid - a location in walking distance to a lot of interesting tourist spots, yet had an authentic and hip feel to it.
The apartment was equipped with everything we needed, though it is obviously not a home, but a place which is rented out most of the time. It still is a lovely apartment, but it lacks the 'feel of home' I look for when I book airbnb.
Maria was very helpful and easy to communicate with, both before and during our stay.
