Felix is a lovely person, very hospitable. We were able to have both privacy and socializing, it was up to us, and we enjoyed both. The apartment was perfect: central, safe location for us two women, two blocks from the subway, ten minutes from Atocha, about the same to Retiro, 15 minutes to Reina Sofia, 20 to the Prado, all nice walks. Within two blocks you will find numerous bars and restaurants, a green grocer, and a supermarket! It’s really quite extraordinary to get all that, on top of a spacious, clean apartment with all the essentials, and A POOL. Boy did that come as a relief. It was very hot in Madrid, like 95 or hotter. With the fans, it was actually ok in the apartment, even without AC. But after walking around all day, it was super to have a nice pool to swim in. And the other reviewers are right, you can’t really hear the trains, which is weird, since it sits right next to the tracks. All around a great deal. We will definitely try to stay here on our next trip to Madrid.
