Maria's apartment was great. It is big enough for two people and looks very stylish. Everything was as described. The windows are facing the yard, so it is quite dark in the apartment during the day, which is a good thing in Madrid as it keeps the apartment cool. Communication with the host was excellent. The location is also perfect, central but quiet, with the Prado Museum, the Retiro Park, and several cozy cafes and restaurants nearby including Chocolat Madrid with great churros.
