My nieces and I had a wonderful experience staying in Magui's apartment; exceeding our expectations. There are a couple of things to highlight. First, and probably most importantly, was the responsiveness of Maguí to many inquiries, changes in plans and assuring us that there would be someone at the apartment on our arrival to meet us, orient us to the apartment and the general surroundings. This is critical to a newcomer especially when schedules change and there are so many uncertainties. Second, the apartment was as represented in the website pictures and description: it was immaculate, bright and comfortable, well stocked with staples and linens, etc; the home 'lived' well for us. (two single adults and a teenager.) Third, the location was ideal, in walking distance to every place: Plaza Mayor basically around the corner, San Miguel de Allende market and over to Calle Mayor and off you go to The Prado and Thyssen Museums, stroll in Retiro Park, eat at one of Madrid's wonderful restaurants, back up Grand Via, arriving exhausted, but knowing you are coming 'home' to a lovely place to relax. Last, the neighborhood while busy and often noisy and crowded (we were there in August) had great energy and felt quite safe. No question, should I visit Madrid again, I would return to Magui's lovely apartment and highly recommend it for anyone looking to experience what living in Madrid feels like.
