Dervys' loft is everything we expected and more. It was clean, more than spacious enough for two, and located in the heart of Madrid. The area is in no way 'bad', as stated in a previous review. It's a vibrant, arty, multicultural area and we were made to feel welcome everywhere we went (despite my constant butchering of the Spanish language). Dervys was a wonderful host, in contact even before we landed with helpful directions and tips for the area. Definitely recommended. Thanks Dervys, will see you again next year.
