It was a wonderful experience to stay with María. She is such a perfect host and her family (Carlos and Elia) made my stay extra unforgettable!
1) Even before my trip, she had been very responsive by answering all my questions about my stay and even other information about Madrid.
2) The room (and house) was clean. María and her husband like keeping clean and the room was just as good as shown in the pictures ;)
3) Something more... was the kindness and spirit of sharing. I felt like I was a family member of them in such a warm and welcoming way. We had great time in the 97th birthday party of Elia (María's aunt). From time to time we shared our experience and María always gave me good advice about things in Madrid and even about life. I remembered Carlos (María's husband) who is always funny and keen on improving his English. I enjoyed seeing Elia everyday and the warm greetings...
The above was still too short to detail my experience, but I was happy that I made a great decision for staying with María. I am already missing the family!
