What a wonderful first experience of Airbnb this was. We were met on the doorstep of the apartment by our delightful host, Marina, and shown all the intricacies of her apartment. Tremendous thought has gone into assuring that her guests have everything they need and, allthough the space is about as big as a hotel room, it is exceptionally well organised and equipped. This was my husband and my first trip to Madrid and Marina's passion for her beautiful city shone through. She patiently answered our numerous questions and ensured that we were able to make the most of our very brief stay by explaining and showing us pictures of the most important landmarks. She also took the time to orientate us, not only in her apartment, but in her city too. We were provided not only with a tourist map of the city, but with a hand drawn map of the immediate area of the apartment. Both maps were very useful to us. Thank you Marina. The apartment is perfectly situated and within easy walking distance to many of the landmarks. We felt very at home after our two night stay and our only regret was that we had not organised to stay in Madrid for a longer duration. Hopefully we will return and without a doubt I would stay in this apartment again. Marina and her apartment are a rare gem in this world and we are so happy that our lives crossed for a brief moment. Thank you so much Marina. Russell and I had one of the happiest times we have had for a very long time and your sincerity and excellent organisational skills helped to ensure this. Hasta manana
