Ana was a wonderful host. She shared her extensive Google Map of favorite places in Madrid with me, which took me to so many excellent restaurants and local spots. The apartment itself is lovely and well decorated, in a great neighborhood close to the major sights, the museums and Retiro Park. I did find the apartment a bit hot (there is no AC) but Ana quickly brought a fan over, which helped a lot while sleeping. The apartment also does not get a lot of natural light, but I didn’t find this to be an issue given the unbeatable price, location and personal touches.
