Maria was warm and welcoming and provided us with great insights into what maybe of interest while we stayed in madrid. The room was clean and spacious however there were a few drawbacks that we would've like to have known about before hand.

The apartment being located on the ground floor resulted in massive amounts of noise from people, cars, and construction workers as well as the constant smell of smoke from people outside. Also, we weren't able to open the window completely just due to the safety factor. (which led to the room being filled with stale hot air and sleeping in 1 hour increments at best).

As long as you aware of these facts, it was a fine stay and just prepare accordingly.
