Alfredo is a charming and a very helpful person. He spent good time charting out what to see and do in Madrid which was extremely helpful considering not many speak English and communication becomes an issue. The apartment was stocked with all possible essentials to make your vacation easy. Its better than most apartments I have seen particularly with RCI and other time share products. He had kept a washing machine, dishwasher, toaster, tea maker, microwave, mixer, hand mixer (i didnt use most but am mentioning it since its helpful when you have a small kid), induction cum oven, coffee maker. Adequate supplies of salt, oil, vinegar, coffee, tea etc. All this is very helpful when you get up in the morning and want your cuppa in bed. Now about the apartment - the television has local channels but is a smart TV so you can connect whatever you want and you are sorted. The rooms are very nice, clean with fresh towels, and linen . The basement room is charming and cool(we were in summer -July beginning ) -there is a heater and cooler if you need. Bathroom are stocked with tissues, shampoos so you dont need to worry about a thing. The location was great near the metro station and walking distance to all shopping areas. A restaurant right opposite was recommended by Alfredo and was awesome. In other words a great apartment owned by a great person. go ahead and book!!
