Marta was a responsive and wonderful host, and the apartment was tastefully designed and fully functional. While not the brightest place in the daytime due to its interior first/second floor location, the apartment was also extraordinarily quiet and private for the same reason -- thus perfect for exploring during the day and hanging out at night. Marta left some goodies and beverages in the fridge; restaurants, bars and fruit stands abound in the nearby neighborhood! She patiently awaited my arrival and helped me with a smooth airport departure. I highly recommend this studio as a base for exploring Madrid and Marta as a host for your time here.
