One word for Marina: PERFECT. I am so glad to have had Marina as a host for my parents' trip to Spain. She helped me take care a lot of logistics and was really helpful before, during, and even after my parents' stay in Madrid. Like others said in the reviews, prior to their arrival she was already emailing me with pictures of Madrid, advice and tips. She is more caring, thoughtful, and kind than you could ask for! The things that she does go beyond my expectations. Next time I go to Madrid I will certainly stay here :D book her place--- YOU WILL NOT REGRET meeting this sweetheart!!
