Charo's place was not easy to locate on our first day, especially since it was night time when we arrived in Madrid and it was raining. However, once we found the place and got settled in, we knew we made the right decision. The building had a lift, so getting our heavy luggage up was not a problem. She had a map ready for us, and gave us tips for the best places to see and visit.

Charo's room for rent is private and separate from their own living quarters. There is adequate privacy. The bathroom is right beside the room. She allows us to use their kitchen and dining room, and prepares coffee and bread for breakfast. The place is clean and generally quiet.

The flat is walking distance to the city center via the trendy Fuencarral St. It is also very close to the Tribunal Metro station for getting around the other parts of the city.
