Maria's place was everything I thought it would be and a bit more. Very comfortable, warm in cold weather, secure, close to the Metro and a great 24hr supermarket. A lovely suburb to walk around in. Maria met me and was very clear about everything. She doesn't speak much English, but I do hear Spanish quite well, so that helped. The apartment is full of thoughtful touches, including the olive oil made by Maria's mum. I would stay there again. Thank you Maria for making my stay in Madrid easy.
