Firstly, Marina's communications to arrive from the airport, were accurate and helpful. At the Airport ticket machine, you have to buy the Metro travelcard (2.5 Euros). which is to be used for other journeys, and the Airport tax (3 euros) and the metro destination fare (2 euros). 7.5 Euros in total. Marina's directions were excellent and easy to follow.
The apartment is close to the metro station, and in a central location. The apartment is in a very safe and secure block.
Marina and her sister, Ana - met me outside and guided me to the apartment. They provided a thorough induction on the appliances, and where everything was kept.
The apartment's size is deceptive. With the sofa bed in sofa mode and the table and chairs set up - it felt roomy, and had all the space i required. The sofa bed was so easy to set up, and the bedding in place (I thought I had to make the bed each night - but this was not the case), and the bed was snug and comfortable.
I haven't been to an Air Bnb place that's been so well equipped, for its size. It had everything, and more than I needed. Marina has placed so much attention to detail. The bathroom was a good size, and the shower was excellent.
The place was spotlessly clean, and felt like a home from home straightaway.
Marina and Ana, listened to my plans, and gave excellent advice on how to get there and where to go, and other suggestions. It's not just a cool apartment you get, but the best Madrid tourist information as well! They were so helpful!
Their communications were really good, getting back to me quickly - and helping make my short stay so special.
I visited Madrid for the art galleries, which were amazing - but I also came home with the highest regards for the warmth of these Madrileños.
I highly recommend Marina's apartment, for anyone staying in central Madrid.
