We enjoyed a lovely city break in Maria's beautiful apartment. It's very centrally located, just a few minutes walk from the Gran Via. The apartment was just as described, very tastefully decorated, like something from an interiors magazine. Our seven year old loved the projector cinema screen and we enjoyed a few movie nights during our stay. The neighbourhood is lively with a few good bars and a supermarket in staggering distance. Maria was a great host, leaving us Madrid travel guides, plug adapters, bread, milk and a few essentials. This was our first air b&b experience and it really made our trip to Madrid very special. The icing on the cake was I tweeted about how lovely the apartment was and imagine my surprise and delight when the lovely team at airbnb sent me a beautiful bottle of Rioja to the apartment to enjoy! Thanks to Maria and airbnb for a great break.
