We had a brilliant time in sunny Madrid, right there in the centre of Chueca. It was so nice to walk out the door and find ourselves in the middle of all the action. The apartment was shiny white, clean and just big enough for two. You can just see the (blue) sky, as the apartment (4th floor) faces the quiet courtyard. Good to find books and maps, and a very willing host. There's a nice market nearby where you can get your bread, tea et cetera. Though Sofia wasn't there, she took good care of us via telephone and e-mail. A great experience in total!
