My wife and I recently traveled to Madrid and stayed at Mara’s place. I must say we had a great time all around. In terms of Mara’s place, it was just as pictured on the site, very clean, and it was in the heart of the city, which made getting around to places much easier (we mostly walked everywhere we went). A day or two before we got there, Mara provided the check-in info which was very detailed. When we actually arrived, she was there to greet us and gave us some helpful tips and suggestions for restaurants and attractions with a chalkboard map of the area she drew and posted in the apartment. This was so helpful throughout our stay (I took a picture of it so we had it with us during our excursions)! Again, we had a great time and would definitely stay at her apartment again if we’re ever back in Madrid again after this trip.
