My boyfriend and I really enjoyed our nine-night stay here this December. Maria was wonderfully warm, friendly and helpful, but also gave us lots of personal space. Even though the room is within her suite, it felt very private, and we felt at ease there.
Maria provided fruit, tea and buns for us each day, as well as making our bed and cleaning; we felt very lucky to be so well taken care of! The room was cosy and very clean, the bed and bedding very comfortable and of quality. It was quiet and we slept well. Our room had a small table, two chairs and large armoire, with enough space for two, plus access to the common areas. At one point I realized that the bed is not really super long — it was totally fine for us — but if you’re a very tall person, that’s something to consider. The ensuite bathroom was spacious, with a big tub and shower.
The area is fantastic for food, art and culture and just strolling about, with major museums and El Retiro Park nearby. We walked almost everywhere, with an occasional taxi to Malasaña (around 7-10 Euros).
Maria is a kind and sophisticated person, who genuinely enjoys people. The soothing space she’s created for her guests helped make our trip to Spain a very positive experience.
