Marta’s studio is small but cozy. I loved the fact it was very close to the museums, Botanical gardens as well as close to the Plaza Mayor. The apartment was sparkling clean and comfortable. I appreciated the quality and size of the bathroom towels, the little details such as the handsoap, kleenex, and the nice variety of plates etc. I liked the way Marta included a list of things to see and do in the area.One little detail, The apartment has one window that faces an inner courtyard, and another that faces the window of another apartment. Thus I felt a bit enclosed. I am from the country, thus I am used to living a space flooded with natural light. I tried keeping the window facing the inner courtyard open, but soon realized that it is situated at a height in which give the other department dwellers a full view of the inner space of the apartment. Thus I kept the windowshade down during my entire stay. However if you are going to spend the bulk of your time sightseeing, this will not be a bother. To end on a more positive note, catching the AVE train to Córdoba was just a 10 minute walk away from the apartment. This proximity to the Atocha station is really a plus if you plan to travel outside Madrid. Marta’s studio is well situated for those who want to explore Madrids finest museums. It is also just a few blocks away from the area of Huertas which is chock full of little stores, cafés and restaurants with caracter. I greatly enjoyed exploring the Huertas area and the Latina neighborhood.
