Maria's place was really nice and cosy. Her home was neat and clean. She even provides bed linen and towels, really thoughtful. I arrived very late at the airport (round 23.00) but Maria was still up waiting for me. It takes about an hour to the airport and 30 min to the city centre. Whole Madrid is easy accessible by metro. Maria was really helpful with giving me directions. She really tried to stay out of your way and make you feel comfortable in her home. You get breakfast coupons for each day just across the street. Such a lovely place! Everything is home made. Even if I came in late morning (around noon) they were serving me orange juice, coffee/tea and bread. If you want something else to eat just ask and they be happy to help. You can trade it for another dish and pay a little bit extra. Overall I had an amazing experience!
