Maria is a fantastic host and her apartment is a wonderful place to base yourself when exploring Madrid. We arrived a couple of hours early and Maria was more than happy to allow us to store our luggage while the cleaning was finished. In fact, she carried my (very heavy) suitcase up two flights of stairs for me too. Above and beyond!

The apartment is airy, clean and very chic. The enormous doors opening onto the street below were a highlight for me. The bed was a comfy memory foam queen size and the shower was great after a busy day exploring the city. Maria also recommended several things to do around town, which was great.

It's the little touches that made the difference. International adapters, guide books, plenty of toilet paper, plenty of clothes hangers and space. I have no hesitation in recommending this lovely apartment to anyone wishing to visit this wonderful city.
