I traveled to Madrid combining business with a short holiday. following a 2 night stay at a hotel we had booked 2 nights win La Latina area and the apartment of Mercedes was ticking each and every box. Mercedes and her husband greeted us and welcomed us and showed us around the apartment. the flat was equipped with much more than what the descriptions says on the Air B&B web. is literally in the heart of the La Latina area where all the bars and restaurants are, 200m from the oldest restaurant in the world (yes that is right) and 300m from the tube station. only 5mins walk from Sol the main square and everything is really within distance. Mercado de Miguel is a stone throw away too. there is a Dia supermarket 300m from the flat if you wish to buy anything but with the choice that is on your feet you are spoiled.
The apartment was fantastically clean, very comfortable bed which is what i needed it after a long week and a spacious bathroom and kitchen. is a studio flat perfect, just ideal for a couple.
both Mercedes and her husband were very very friendly and warm people and i dont need to say that they allowed us to keep the apartment until 8pm (we left around 6pm) on a Sunday evening so we could store our luggage and still continue to enjoy and explore beautiful sights of Madrid. very flexible people and felt like i knew them for a long time. if anyone is looking to stay in Madrid on business or vacation think no further!
thank you both guys for the hospitality and i really look forward to seeing you again very soon cause we simply had a fabulous time!
many thanks once again
