Although we arrived 40 minutes early Marta who showed up 15 minutes later was completely unfazed. Marta is delightful, vivacious and passionate about Madrid. She spent 40 minutes showing us the apartment, explaining various features to us and chatting about things to do in the vicinity of the apartment and around the city. The apartment was airy, bright and cool and tastefully furnished. Marta has a real flair for design and decor. We found everything we needed in the compact but well provisioned kitchen. Located a block from the metro the apartment was also a mere 10 minute walk to the Plaza Mayor and the Mercado San Miguel with its incredible food and beverages. This was our first AirB&B experience and certainly not our last if Marta is representative of a typical AirB&B host. We hope to return to Madrid and we would definitely stay at La Latina STAR again.
