Maria's apartment is a dream- and so is Maria. I actually nicknamed her Dulce Maria because she's so sweet. The apartment is beautifully decorated (we were drooling over everything), in the coolest neighborhood (we never wanted to leave) and very conveniently located (a couple blocks from the metro). Maria was a doll from the very first message, creating an itinerary for us and sending her best recommendations. She even invited us to hang out with her and her friends in Madrid. Sadly, the timing didn't work out and we never met in person, but I still consider Maria a true friend. Treat yourself to a stay in this lovely apartment if you can. It was no doubt the highlight of our trip to Europe!
