After several schedule changes on my behalf (and no phone) Miguel still managed to meet me at his apartment and introduce me to Madrid. He is an excellent host that is always available if you need him. Although we did not share a common language we both were able to communicate through translate without issue.
The apartment was stocked with everything I needed to get started for the month. It is a great place to be in the center of it all if this is your interest.
Situated on a walking street and facing into a square, you are short walking distance to any restaurants, grocery stores, metro stations, and shops you could want. Access to Gran Via and Plaza del Sol are simple and scenic. If you choose this apartment you are interested in the sights and sounds that living in the center of a big city entails. I wouldn't hesitate to contact Miguel again when I stop through Madrid. Thank you sir!
