Adrian was a great host and thankfully was very understanding about our arrival time and some last minute change of plans. The room was compact but not did not feel crampt or crowded because Adrian used the space very efficiently for a travelers who may not have a lot of luggage. The common areas were more spacious and had all the essentials needed to prepare a quick meal, and wash a small load of laundry or two. Adrian also helped us offering to get information about how to get to specific points of interests, however we already had spent some time in Madrid and so it was not needed. The location was good, too. There is a metro station up the street that quickly takes you to many of the main tourist attractions. You can also walk to some attractions if prefer. My only reservation about the apartment is the fact that there is no elevator and the apartment is on the 5th floor and you must walk up 6 flight of stairs to get there. If you have small children or a lot of heavy luggage, this could be a difficult challenge for you. Adrian was wonderful and more than happy to help with our suitcases. We had a great stay.
