Overall great place to stay in Madrid! Very convenient location in a nice district, next to the Retiro park, with many shops nearby and the metro just outside the flat. Very easy also to move around on foot (e.g. ~20 min walk to Sol). The flat itself has a very cozy atmosphere, ideal to relax when you get back in the evening. I was there in the summer and the flat stayed incredibly cool with minimal use of the air conditioning, even when outside was pretty hot (>35 Celsius). On the flip side, the flat could benefit from more light, given it's a ground floor interior. Rove, the host was exemplar, very welcoming, proactively checking in that everything was going well - easy check-in process, great communication overall. While there were a couple of minor things to fix - as it can happen - Rove responded very quickly, and everything got resolved . Overall great host and a great place to stay in Madrid.
