We spent one week in Madrid for a mix of work and vacation. The location is perfect to walk to all the nice barrios within 5-10 minutes.
We felt home at Marias place from the beginning. She was very helpfull and introduced us to her friends. We spent a lot of time with them and had could talks, so i could improve my spanish skills (at least i think so). Maria speaks english as well. Another neighbour took me to his fitness class.
The room itself is a bit warm, but she gave us a fan to tackle the heat in Madrid. You have your private and modern bathroom which is also very comfy.
Next time in Madrid i definetly will come back here :-)
