Everything about the apartment was fantastic. It looks just like its photos - spacious, well-appointed and sparkling clean. The location was perfect, surrounded by wonderful cafes and tapas bars, less than two minutes walk to the metro yet surprisingly quiet at night. The apartment is on the second floor and there is a bit of a climb (20 stairs maybe) to get to the front door but we managed easily enough. Mariola was unable to meet us while we were in Madrid but she went out of her way to ensure that check-in and check-out was easy and fuss-free. Thanks again, Mariola, for hosting us and for your list of recommended restaurants and sights, we truly enjoyed it!
