Don't hesitate to rent Paula's place if you're visiting Madrid - grab it if you can!! From the moment we were greeted (by Roberto, a very thoughtful and helpful young man), to the moment we checked out, every part of our experience was perfect. Roberto spent a generous 20 minutes with us sharing points of interest on a map, and he also gave us some great off-the-beaten-path restaurant recommendations. The apartment itself is in a very central location - just around the corner from the palace and a short walk to destinations such as the Plaza Mayor, Gran Via, and Puerta del Sol. It was also a pleasant walk to the Prado museum and fun neighborhoods like Malasana and La Latina. Since we were in Madrid during the dead of summer, it was great to come home to a spacious, comfortable, super-clean, and COOL apartment (central air-conditioning, woohoo!). We also appreciated Paula for calling a taxi to pick us up on our last day. Be sure to rent her apartment if you can! Thanks for everything, Paula!
