We stayed in Maria's apartment for four nights. As frequent travellers, we must say this is the best experience We have ever had. The apartment is located in a quite decent area, ten minutes walk from the Royal Palace and five minutes from the metro. It has two bedrooms, ideal for a family of 3-4. Every detail in the apartment is well attended, making life in a new place cozy and convenient. The owner is an architect with a fine taste. This can be felt in the design of all the details. What's more impressive is the smooth, friendly and timely communication. Maria gave us the details on transport before we arrived, asked about our stay on the first evening, sent us details on where to see and eat. She also helped book a taxi for a 5:30 taxi in order we could catch an early flight. She always responded very quickly to our needs, making us feel assured in our first visit to Madrid. We like the home away from home.
