Our stay in Madrid was a great trip, thanks to Maria's flat as well! The appartement is very cosy and quiet (3rd floor without the elevator). There are many shops (Ahorra mas, Aldi, grocery stores, pharmacy etc.) and metro station (Pueblo Nuevo) nearby. The flat was clean, well equipped and what was important for us - there is a bed in the bedroom and also a comfortable sofa in the other room. Maria is a very nice host, she gave us many tips about eating and sightseeing. We definitely recommend this place! :)
