Our visit to Madrid was great and Vallentinas apartment was an ideal base. We were met by her husband who ran through all of the need to know info about the apartment and the brilliant tv/projector - great feature where dubbed movies could be converted back to original language. The apartment was great inside, relaxing lounge and kitchen area and all of the beds were ultra comfy so it was easy to get a good nights sleep between long days out sight seeing. The only thing missing from the listing was a washing machine for our clothes, however, Valentina did offer to collect, wash and return anything we needed to be washed. Supermarket 3 mins walk away and convenience store, and bakery 1 minute so ideal to grab a few bits when needed. Great communication before and throughout the trip. We had a hire car and the underground parking was ideal. We drove into Madrid centre most days which took around 15-20 mins. We loved Madrid and did say we will re-visit in the future, maybe when the weather is a little warmer, and we would have no hesitation is staying in Valevtinas apartment next time.
