Maria’s apartment is cozy and beautiful for a solo traveller, couple or two people . Just bear in mind that the living room is innthe bedroom (with no door if privacy is an issue for you). It’s a studio flat however everything you need is there.
The kitchen comes equipped with cooking utensils (no oven).The only thing missing was oil and cleaning detergent (i brought my own wipes but it would have been nice to have a bottle of spray to clean the bathroom after brushing my teeth and also to clean the surface after cooking.
The apartment is suited in a safe and vibrant area of madrid. As a lover of the art, i was able to snap pictures including indulging in churros. The famous shop chocolat is situated 5 minutes walk away from the apartment.
The closest metro station is Anton Martin. I would advise anyone travelling to use google map to navigate your way around. We initially struggled to find the green door however after than we felt like locals. There are also a lot of restaurants including supermarkets nearby. There’s a karaoke bar opposite the flat (we weren’t there for the weekend so we slept without disruption).
Carrefour 24 supermarket was 10 minutes walk. You can practically walk everywhere if you choose to stay in the centre.
As a host Maria was extremely helpful with her handy tips. She responded to my messages including resolving the concerns i had about the forms. The building itself is beautiful. There’s a lift including stairs (we found out the last day 😄). If i come back to Madrid , i will certainly stay at this apartment again.
The trip back to the airport took 45-an hour so bear that in mind. This wasn’t a problem as you get to live and experience Spain as a local rather than tourist 💃🏽
