We had a really great time at Marianos place. It is located directly in the center of Madrid which means you can actually walk everywhere in short time. But if you like to take the metro the next station is just a 3 minute walk. A bakery and butcher and a small shop for buying water is just around the corner which is really great for buying fresh breakfast everyday and have a nice start into the day in Madrid. The appartment inside is just stunning with all the art and the bedroom is also really nice, with a bathroom directly attached to it. We really enjoyed our room and the whole appartment. Mariano was a really nice host who also gave us the opportunity to arrive a little bit later as our flight came into Madrid late. When we arrive we had a friendly welcome and Mariano gave us some tip where to spent our time in Madrid. All in all it was a great first time experience with airbnb! Thanks!
