The apartment is exactly as described and Ruty was very responsive and there to meet us as planned. It is in a great neighbourhood as well with shops and cafes nearby and walking distance to major sites. Rudy is an excellent host, offering recommendations and information about Madrid as well as coffee and tea in the apartment and other kitchen items to cook with. The hot water in the shower seems limited so quick showers are necessary here. Other than the hot water, and that is not a huge issues, the apartment is great.
