Maria's placed it is very closed to different attractions like plaza mayor, Gran via, puerta del Sol etc. you can literally go walking. Maria was very accessible when checking in. check in is a little be difficult because you have to go and pick up a key to a different location and then go where you are going to stay. I messaged Maria and I asked her if she can wait for us at the locations instead and she did it with no doubt. Maria is very welcoming a friendly. the only thing about the place was the bed, is not an actual bed is a futon table, andit was very uncomfortable and will make noise like it was going to break, the other thing was you can't lock the door when you leave, you basically have to trust the other guest when leaving your personal belongings.also the main entrances is a issue if you are lucky you can open it in five minutes you have to play with it for it to open. besides all I mentioned the placed is well located.
