What a perfect location for our first visit to Madrid! We bought a 10 trip metro pass on our first day but didn't need to use it at all - we could walk everywhere. The apartment had everything we needed and Ruben was one of the best air bnb hosts we have encountered. Always quick to reply to any queries and he gave us a bunch of local tips on where to eat, drink and visit when we arrived. He also held our bags on our last day due to our late flight. The lonely planet guide to Madrid in the apartment was a nice touch for us first time visitors!
