Never met with Maria, but the direction both to her place and key to get in were precise and easy to follow. She was also very response to all my messages.

The apartment is in a perfect location with everything you could really need in walking distance. We didn't have to use the metro at all other than coming in from the airport.

The inside of the apartment was as described. The only negative was that while the AC was able to sufficiently cool the common area, the bedroom and upstairs loft would stay a bit warm. The loft had the worst of it but there was a fan provided. However, the fan would automatically shut off after 2 hours.

Other than that, there were no complaints and I would stay here again if I was visiting Madrid.
