Maria was a great host and responded very quickly. The apartment is located in a great area and you can walk to all the important locations in Madrid center. No car is necessary. The apartment itself is located on top of the building and is very quiet and well insulated. There is an elevator which is great. The pictures and descriptions are accurate. The apartment has ample space and is very nicely decorated. It was impeccably clean and all appliances and furnitures are brand new. Maria even had tea, coffee, condiments, milk and juice provided. I would definitely stay in the apartment again.
