Maria Beatrice's place is honestly so beautiful; she has decorated it with artistic flair, making it a very welcoming and warm place to stay. There is a lovely (small) balcony off the living room, with a great view down a small street -- perfect for a morning coffee. Her place is also in one of the trendiest (in a good way) neighbourhoods in the city: Malasaña, which doesn't hurt. The one small shortcoming during our stay was sharing a bathroom amongst four people (2 in each of the 2 rooms assigned to that bathroom), which caused some delay getting out of the apartment one morning. While we were there, all three rooms were being rented out as Airbnb's, so we never met Maria Beatrice herself.
