Gianni is a very welcoming host and his apartment is well situated in the middle of Madrid. There is a 24-h open supermarket within 100 mts of the apartment. We enjoyed our stay in Madrid because the place is so well connected. In fact, once could save money of a transport card as everything is within walking distance. The museums, Plaza Mayor, Puerta Del Sol the Royal Palace the gardens everything. And if you like Indian food there are plenty of Indian restaurants outside the apartment, we did try once and the place right opp his apartment door did serve good Indian food.
