We have just finished our stay in Madrid at Juan's apartment. It was absolutely fantastic. Very centrally located in an old building, yet the apartment has been completely renovated. Very clean, great A/C (outside temps were in mid 30s), lots of electrical outlets and mirrors! Street below can be noisy, but that's expected when you are staying in the center. Juan was there to meet us when we arrived and also arranged a taxi to the airport for us on our departure. A great base to venture out and explore Madrid - we would highly recommend this apartment for a visit to Madrid!
