Lola's apartment was perfect. First, the location could not be better. If you are arriving to Madrid by train, or by airplane, take the RENFE train to the Sol (Puerta del Sol) stop, and the apartment is less than 5 minutes by foot, and incredibly easy to find. The location is great because you are next to Sol (the exact center of Madrid), a couple blocks from Chueca, and very close the beautiful Retiro Park.

Lola happened to be out of the country while I was there, but her super nice husband Martin was there, and he was very helpful and informative. The apartment itself is very clean and nice, and there is an elevator (lift) which is a plus. You cannot bring in outside guests, so if you are looking to turn your room into a private fu*k palace, then you should probably get your own private hotel room. There is a washing machine they let me use as well which was great. Across the street is a supermarket. I cannot stress enough how perfect this location is.
