I stayed with my 11 year old son at Julia’s place for two nights as we were in Madrid to see Real Madrid play. It was easy to find, nice room and great to have private bathroom, close to public transportation both bus and metro, but we also tried walking the 3,5km walk to Plaza Mayor and that was nice too. Julia’s apartment was very clean with everything you will need and most importantly with the sweetest host you can imagine. She was very caring and helpful and even got up at 3:30am to make freshly squeezed orange juice for us before going to the airport very early on the last day. This is a great place with very good value for money!
