Elena's place was amazing. My mom and I were in Madrid for a few days and Elena was an amazing host. Her apartment was extremely clean, very well decorated and homey. We had a lovely time chatting with her on the terrace and slept amazingly in the huge bed in the bedroom. We put both centrally located and secluded in our response as the apartment was two blocks (a quick 2 minute walk maybe) to the metro station and you could get anywhere in the city very easily. The metro is a great way to see the city! The terrace with the lovely plants made it feel like we were away from the big city life. Her house felt very safe and we didn't have any issues whatsoever. We would recommend Elena's apartment for a very relaxing Madrid stay and would definitely return and stay with her. Thanks so much Elena!
