Our 2-week stay at Mathilde's place in Madrid was really enjoyable. The place is located within walking distance from major sightseeing places, it is quite big, very well equipped and practical (kitchen and bathroom have everyting you need also for a longer stay). Communication with the host very good; we asked for airport taxi service and it went very smoothly. The only remarks is that if someone is sensitive to noise it may take some time to get used to people's talking until late at night at the streets and balconies, but this is after all part of the city's life. Other than that, it was perfect and we recommend the place for short and longer stays in Madrid.
