We selected Consuelo's place based on previous reviews and were not disappointed. Albert let us in and showed us how to use everything in the apartment and gave us a map pointing out attractions and suggestions of where to go and where/what to eat. He was kind enough to help me with my bag upstairs. There was wine and snacks ready to welcome us! We were able to walk to everywhere in Madrid and used the metro a few times when we had our luggage with us. Very convenient location, many shops and places to eat nearby, walking distance to any and all tourist spots. Apartment was very clean and had everything we needed and included free exercise (the stairs) which we used to work off some chocolate and churros :) Overall Consuelo was a great host for our first Airbnb experience, definitely recommend her place for staying in Madrid!
