Marisa is one of the sweetest ladies that I have ever met in my travels. My flight didn't arrive into Madrid until almost midnight and she waited up for me until I arrived at her flat at almost 1:30 a.m. Her apartment is in a very central location in Madrid and in a very sophisticated neighbourhood near good restaurants and shops and the Metro. Marisa also gave me good tips on what to see, all this as we tried to find a common ground with the language. The room was very private and she basically left me to my own devices and even helped me as I tried to navigate the Madrid transportation system. I will recommend Marisa's place to anyone.
