Willem's place was the perfect marriage of location, cleanliness, style, and ease. We felt so at home and comfortable at his place and we would definitely stay there again next time we're in Madrid. The metro is 2 blocks away, there are great shops within walking distance, the city center is a quick ride away, and the neighborhood is quiet and safe. We stayed there with our 7 year old on his first international trip and this was the perfect oasis to come home to after exploring all day.
Willem offered us lots of advice for what to do (especially with kids) while in Madrid and offered to email us later I. The week with more suggestions. His English is perfect and he was very patient with us and willing to let us check in as early as he could allow us to.
There is no dryer in the apt. but the climate is dry so the clothes dried perfectly hanging over night.
