Our stay at Bastethome Apartments was very nice, exactly as advertised. Pre-visit communications were clear with fast responses. The language gap wasn't an issue. Alfredo was waiting when we arrived. There was a nice Rioja to help welcome us to Madrid. Nice touches throughout the place. Perfect central Madrid location allowed us to get to the metro, palace, gardens, museums quickly. Nice that there are two full, private bedrooms. Note that the kitchen is very tiny, with the sloped roof limiting access. Recommend highly!
