Ana Maria is so kind and her home is so comfortable, it was a home away from home for me. The bathroom was clean with no odors, VERY comfortable bed with warm blankets and a memory foam pillow. The location of apartment is 5 minutes away from the Metro which brings you straight into the city. The neighborhood is filled with families and is near a beautiful park, Park Aluche! I will say that because the heating system is building-regulated, it can get quite chilly in the room sometimes so bring an extra sweater if you are traveling during the winter months.
Ana Maria herself is so kind, welcoming, and very sweet. I was initially nervous to stay with a host but this has been a great experience. When I come back to Madrid, I will definitely look to staying in her apartment again.
