Angel’s apartment was centrally located in Madrid, making all touristy sites walkable. We were delighted to meet Angel in person; he was able to provide a lot of helpful local tips. The apartment came with a huge map that highlighted points of interest, we referred to this map to find new restaurants and fun activities. We took the metro into the city and was unaware that the main metro station closest to the apartment, Gran Via, was closed due to construction until the foreseeable future. There is another station nearby, Callo, which is less than a 5-minute walk. Word of caution, there are time scheduled smart plugs that regulates the heat in both the living room and bedroom. Without knowing about the smart plugs, we woke up to a cold bedroom. We quickly communicated our concerns to Angel to which he addressed. We read a review by Monica from 2018 that conveyed her concerns about this area being commonly known for prostitutes. We took this into consideration when we booked this apartment and found that there were a couple women directly outside the apartment throughout the day during our stay. We generally felt safe and didn’t have any issues.
