We stayed 7 nights.at Marias apt. We never actually met Maria as she was out of town for our visit. Her friend, was waiting for us when we arrived late to let us in which went well. Maria had prior sent us lots of very useful links to information sites before we arrived and she was very prompt in all her correspondence. The position is wonderful. Walking distance to all of the major sites and a supermarket and great deli within 50m. Easy, close acess to the metro and in a old part of town with plenty of great bars and cafes very close - its a lively spot. It was relatively noisy, the rubbish truck comes along early every morning and the bars can be noisy till late, but the position makes it worthwhile. The bed was comfortable and the flat had all the necessay items, some new in the kitchen, to make our stay easy. It was clean and tidy on arrival. Our first stay in a Madrid flat so not sure of relative size but it was small - kitchen definitly a one person space. Wifi connection was good. The area at the bottom of the stairs to the flat looked disconcerting with roofing jacks seeminly supporting a portion of the stairwell. Would stay again.
