Our stay in Fernando's place was great.
The apartment is perfectly located, a few minutes walk from most city center top places. The neighborhood is nice and calm in the hilly streets of Lavapiès, with plenty of local restaurants, cafes, etc. Close to Major or Sol, but without the crowd.
The apartment is cute, clean, simply but well equipped and, most importantly, very quiet! Fernando was there to welcome us a bit earlier than the official check-in time and agreed to let us leave our things in the apartment after check-out time, to make the most of our stay, with our late return flight. Of course, he accepted it because the next guests were arriving later, but Fernando was not obliged. He provided us with plenty of tips to enjoy our stay and was very reactive when we contacted him before or during our stay.
Madrid is a wonderful city, people living here are nice and welcoming. We loved it. Fernando and his place contributed to enjoy our time.
