Helen and Martin were really thoughtful and helpful hosts. The flat is in a perfect area for getting around Madrid and there is a lot happening both day and night. Even though it is a busy area the wooden blinds very much mute the noise from the streets below. We really enjoyed watching everyone go by in the courtyard below. Helen was so helpful to me even making a dinner reservation to celebrate my birthday at a restaurant they recommended and it was excellent . We also enjoyed the gelato shop right by the apartment more then once during our stay. Important to note that if I had any questions they got back to me immediately. I would definitely stay there again.
