Staying with Maria was like staying with an old friend. She made us feel incredibly welcome from the minute we booked our stay. She is kind and generous, and you can tell she genuinely loves having people stay in her home. Her knowledge of Madrid is so helpful to a visitor trying to navigate as well as survive the heat! Her home is very comfortable and in a great location for museums, transportation, and the old city center. Nothing is more than about a 15 minute walk. This has been our best Airbnb experience to date.
