First, before arrival, Maria gave excellent recommendations on where to go, places to see and eat, and the history of her street/area (e.g. who lived there was buried nearby, like Goya and Velazquez, which was so interesting if you're interested in that!). I was coming from the airport, and she gave very clear and explicit instructions on how to get from the airport to the apartment by Metro - SO helpful and made the travel easy and stress-free. Only issue on arrival was getting in/getting the keys, but I made the mistake of not figuring that out clearly beforehand. The apartment is in the PERFECT location - so close to all main attractions and monuments, so it's easy to walk nearly every where. We even walked from there to the Atocha station to travel to Barcelona, which was easy and beautiful - only half an hour. Her view is nice, and it gets nice light. No shower curtain, but no big deal for us. The apartment was SUPER clean when we got there - freshly cleaned, and the kitchen/bed/couch are all comfortable. Even though we only stayed for a night, we really loved the place - thank you!
