Marine is a great host! We had a late arrival and she was there to receive us and give us tips on where to go and visit. The flat had all the amenities you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. There are quite some shops and restaurants around the area, the metro station and train station are about 8 minutes walk each and takes you to centre of Madrid in about 20 min. Even though it wasn’t in the centre it didn’t feel as far, great place for the value I recommend it.
