I can't say enough great things about this place and Michel the host. The location is right on the square and is central to all of the great sites and restaurants. Michel met us at the apartment and showed us everything we needed to know and provided us a super useful list of recommended placed to eat and visit. We also did his bike tour on our first day and it was perfect for getting a feel for the area. It was very easy going and he had lots of interesting facts and history to share about many of the sites. A few notes about the apartment that might be handy. It is one the square, so expect noise from the square until after midnight on most nights and later on weekends. It was fairly constant, so it was a bit like white noise. Also, during the day, there was some construction going on in the building, but that was likely just a short term thing and didn't really affect our stay. Also, the upstairs loft is awesome, but it does have a low ceiling... so if you are over about 5'10" you will likely need to bend down a bit. Again, Michel was amazing and he made our stay really smooth (minimal checkout, lots of tips, and he even helped us find a place to print out some travel documents). If/when we come back to Madrid, we will definitely try and stay here again.
