Marina was a fantastic host. She went out of her way to be helpful and accommodating, more so that I would say should be expected of an Air BnB host -- and just to be clear I mean that entirely as a compliment with no subtext. I had a private space when I needed it and great conversation when I wanted it. The apartment was very comfortable and well decorated. The neighborhood was safe and had every kind of store within walking distance. Marina shared her home with me like I was an old friend. I would definitely stay with her again next time I'm in Madrid.
