Maria's place is ideal for a Madrid getaway amongst friends. It's cavernously big, beautifully appointed and spotlessly clean. We were four adults, and we were more than comfortable for our long weekend trip. It's also located just next to the gorgeous Retiro park and is a very brief walk from the metro station Sainz de Baranda, so everything is very accessible. To top it all off, Maria is a very communicative host. She responded promptly, comprehensively and satisfactorily to every single message I sent her way. Would definitely recommend a stay here if you're in Madrid.
