Marta's place is exactly what it looks like in the photos, or perhaps even better. I was very happy that the kitchen is nicely equipped with a microwave, stove top, stainless steel pots, and other equipment. Very well kept place. And very safe area.

Marta was there to greet me and oriented me to the apartment - everything was pretty clear and straight forward. No fuss.

Location is good. The only thing is that I was disappointed to find out that Atocha Metro and most stations in the entire line are closed for construction from July to November 2016. I wish I had known this before booking because proximity to the metro line was key to me. I had to scramble to find out alternatives which created some inconvenience.

For those of you interested, the next closest metro is Lavapiés Station on the less central yellow line and is 8 minutes away by foot.
