Ruben kept in in touch with us, checking what time we would arrive so he could welcome us. He was there to show us around and to hand over the keys. The apartment was just as we expected from the photos, very clean and stocked with tea, coffee, milk and juice with croissants and buns for breakfast. There even two bottles of wine available to buy. Ruben helped us with directions, where to find the nearest supermarket and even sent us a timetable for the Renfe (train) to get us to the airport for our return journey. The location of the apartment was perfect, and it was great to be able to step out and walk everywhere. The best Tapas in Madrid is very nearby in the Mercado de San Miguel and an excellent restaurant for local dishes and very good service 'Viejo Madrid' is near to the Plaza Mayor which is minutes away from the apartment. Breakfast in the Plaza Mayor is highly recommended and you will find the Tourist Office here also.
