We were visiting Madrid for first time and first time AirBNB users. Our son is studying in Madrid and staying with a family very close to Ana's apartment. It worked out perfectly and was as advertised. The Retiro Park is only blocks away. We used taxis for most trips into the City Center. Nearly every fare was 8€. There is a nice supermarket across the street and we were able to have breakfast and coffee in the apartment before the day's tours. The kitchen was equipped with necessities including coffee maker. There is even a small clothing washing machine and there is a clothes line to dry clothes. This worked out well for us. The apartment is quiet and clean. The beds are comfortable. All linens and towels were freshly cleaned. The bathroom is clean and has a shower and tub combination which functioned well. The apartment is not fancy but served our needs perfectly. I recommend this apartment!
