The apartment was clean and central, with easy access to the public transport network. While we did not meet our hosts, the communication was on point, such that we always got a fast and useful reply (got an excellent restaurant recommendation out of it). Our departure and arrival times were also accommodated very well, such that there was no dragging of luggage through the city and we could still enjoy our half day in Madrid on departure day. We got the most out of our stay in Madrid while we were here, and I would come here again!
