Maria Teresa and her family are very welcoming and easy going. Their house and room are very neat and clean. The neighbourhood is a diverse cool area - a fantastic and interesting part of Madrid where you are right in the action and can easily walk to many of Madrid's points of interest. Between Google translate and Maria's husband and son communication was easy and clear. The bed was a large double (maybe a king) and very comfortable. The room has good heavy curtains to block out light entirely. Street noise can be a problem - earplugs take care of that. They do smoke in the house, although this didn't bother me. This is an excellent value for money stay. Would stay here again.
