We had, quite simply a wonderful stay at Maria's place in Madrid. Unfortunately we didn't meet Marie, but Mylene who took over was brilliant! Very friendly and informative and was a great help with instructions of how to get to the apartment by metro which is by far the fastest and cheapest way to arrive from the airport. The communication from the time of booking was great and responses were quick. The flat itself couldn't be located any better as it's right in the centre by the Opera and in walking distance to pretty much everything and you're spoilt for choice with bars and restaurants. Maria's flat is simply beautiful in one of the oldest buildings in the city, and is very tastefully decorated, spotlessly clean and very comfortable, we felt very at home there and were touched by the generosity of providing the basic necessities for breakfast which saved us a trip to the supermarket. The only negative I have to say is that we weren't there for longer!! I can't recommend Maria's place and Mylene highly enough and really look forward to visiting again in the future. Many thanks guys. Dxx
