Alvaro’s place is exactly how it’s described. Location is perfect. Just a few minutes from Atocha train station that makes for easy access to/from the airport as well as other locations in Spain. Only a 20 minute walk to main sites in central Madrid. Metro stop just a minute away as well. Alvaro’s hospitality was outstanding. He frequently checked in during our stay to see if everything was fine and if we needed anything. He provided recommendations for the area as well as instructions how to use appliances, etc. within the apartment. We were a family of 5 from the United States. Three adult kids. Plenty of space and very quiet. Also, security at the place was very good. His apartment is one of two in a separate location within the building that has an extra locked door. I would definitely recommend staying at Alvaro’s place.
