Marina’s place is perfect to explore Madrid. There is a metro station very close and the place is walking distance to the major museums, the beautiful el retiro park and lots of great restaurants and bars. The house has everything one would need for a short stay. And above all marina is a great host - very kind and helpful. I had a lovely stay at her place. She also let me store my luggage till late evening while I explored the city post checkout. Thank you marina for all the hospitality.
