Cristina’s flat is very well situated in the Lavapies area. 5 minutes walk from the Lavapies Metro, near Atocha train station & just one Metro stop from Puerta del Sol.
The Main Street has lots of little bars & cafes including the quirky Libreria (Bookshop) cafe (as recommended by Cristina) I enjoyed Jean Paul Sartre toast at this kitsch styled cafe.
The flat itself is very clean.
The only downside is that the two windows in my room are very small. But I was only using it as a crash pad so it didn’t bother me.
Cristina is a friendly host who doesn’t live in the flat.
