Roque's place was perfect for my husband and I. He was there right on time for check-in and provided us with some tips for our interests. We had everything we needed at his place: coffee machine, washer (dishes and clothes), iron and board, dryer to hang clothes on, oven/stove and dishes to use for our meals. The entire apartment was clean and everything worked perfectly, no issues. Roque ensured us he would be available if we needed anything, but we didn't need to bother him at all. The apartment is in the center so you do hear some traffic in the evening time, but it didn't bother us. There is a small mini market right next door and a larger supermarket just minutes away for all your needs. We live to walk around and his place allowed us to wander throughout Madrid. If you prefer public transportation, you are in luck. There is a metro stop about 2-3 minutes waking and the main train station Atocha is about 20 minutes walking for any day trips you may want to take.
