My friend and I got the chance to stay at Maria's place for one night in Madrid due to a scheduling error that resulted in us being homeless, but finding and staying at Maria's was the silver lining. Maria was friendly and communicative. We loved that her space is eclectic, cozy and clean. The apartment is within walking distance to many of Madrid sights and restaurants. We enjoyed interacting with the cute and friendly cats :) If we ever find ourselves back in Madrid, we would love to stay again.
