Francisco’s place is small but functional, with everything you need to be able to stay in Madrid without having to spend money in restaurants. There is an elevator so you don’t have to walk up and down the stairs. The bed is big and comfortable, there is a heater for the cooler winter nights, plenty of supermarkets right around the corner and an easy 20-minute walk from the Prado, Plaza Mayor, etc. Francisco is quick to respond to inquiries and even went to the trouble of suggesting places for breakfast! The check-in time was non-negotiable but I was able to leave earlier than his stipulated check-out time. Do not walk back home by yourself at 4:00am in Lavapiés/Embajadores, as it isn’t safe late at night. I would give the apt a perfect rating if it cost a little less per night, but then I don’t know how high the taxes are on airbnb in Madrid. Overall, a worthwhile experience!
