Emilio is a wonderful host, and the apartment perfectly suited our needs for a company team meetup where separate bedrooms were a must, and a good location pretty key since we wanted to walk to sites, restaurants, cafes and shopping. El Rastro is at your doorstep, main squares are a short walk away, and there are plenty of bakeries, supermarkets, fruit vendors and bars around to suit every taste. None of us noticed much street noise or traffic from windows; a couple nights local people were drunk and talked quite loud under window sills, and that's about it. Hosts were incredibly responsive to anything we needed, even sending over supplies and someone to empty our garbage within 30 min or less. There was a small leak from rain, but taken care of. Very much enjoyed our time in Madrid, especially with the special holiday lighting! TY :)
