We enjoyed the stay a lot. The location is as central, as possible, yet away from the hustle and bustle of the main avenues. An underground station can be found just around the corner. Prado and el Retiro, literally 5 minutes walk away. We didn't meet Corinne in person, since she was extremely busy that time, but she made sure that a friend and a neighbour of hers would take care of us.

Having said all that though, there are a few slight drawbacks which I feel we should honestly share with the airbnb community. The studio is without a doubt 'muy original', but it must be said it's all quite improvised. In fact, it's a cellar where the owner stores her stuff, and some space was carved out to make the studio. This translates into humidity and some musty smell, as well as loads of dust in all the surrounding areas. Don't get it wrong though, the living area and the bathroom were squeaky clean and all fine, so it was all about the smell, really. The tiny window unfortunately, doesn't let much air in or out (not to mention light).

Also, a tiny blunder: even though we had agreed on arriving at 3 pm, the studio wasn't ready until 6. Not a big deal, though—we had been notified the day before, so we just left the luggage and set off into the city.

So, all in all, a good catch, worth trying for anybody who doesn't mind the abovementioned :-)
