Mercedes is a wonderful host. We had wonderful communication before and during the stay. The apartment is just as described. It is a small studio with a separate bathroom. Freshly redesigned and updated and spotless. Mercedes has thought about everything for the guest. Guidebooks, restaurant recommendations, device chargers, even umbrellas! Fresh organes for juice even. The apartment is in the interior of a complex so windows look out onto a courtyard - so there is not view - the bonus of this is that the apartment is very quiet, even though the building itself is on one of the most popular tapas streets in La Latina. A very good night's sleep. I would happily stay in Mercedes' place again and recommend it as a very convenient option in Madrid.
