Carmen was an absolutely lovely host. As soon as I walked in she must have noticed I'd had a long journey because she immediately handed me a beer and some croquettes. Throughout my short stay I never felt anything less than welcome; food and coffee was laid out every morning for guests and Carmen was only too happy to let me use the washing machine (she even went to the trouble of hanging them up for me too).

The room was nice and cosy as described and the rest of the apartment was well looked after.

The location was, with no exaggeration, perfect. I came into Atocha railway station with a heavy backpack and the journey on foot to the apartment was no more than 5-10 minutes. There's also an airport bus which drops you off right at Atocha station so I counted myself very lucky there.
