I had a wonderful stay here! It is about a 15 minute walk from the stunning Parque de María Luisa, which you can walk through to reach the Plaza de España. There are several public transit options that are a very short walk away, making it extremely easy to get around the city. Marta was so hospitable and friendly; even though I speak very little Spanish, she made me feel at home. When there was an issue with her washing machine and I expressed concern about running out of clean clothes, she took them somewhere to be washed and refused to accept payment! I highly recommend staying in Marta's lovely home.
