This was a great little flat up on the 4th floor of the building. There wasn't a lift but the stairs are ok - not too steep & well lit all the way up.

The location was great - nearby was the Metro station which is well-connected with the rest of the city, as well as a good-sized 24-hour supermarket. There is also the Reina Sofia museum within walking distance, Buen Retiro park, El Rastro flea market on a Sunday morning & Atocha station, where the airport connection bus drops off. This also has a great left-luggage facility if you have a few hours to wander around after you've checked out but before you depart Madrid, and you don't want to carry your bags with you all day.

Check-in was nice & easy - Guillermo's friend Elise was there to meet us, and both of them had been in touch before I landed in Madrid with helpful advice. She speaks many languages fluently which is always helpful. She also met up with us for an easy check-out too.

The flat has 2 good size bedrooms with double beds in, and a reasonable bathroom with a good shower in. Despite being in an area with a good selection of bars & restaurants nearby, there was no problem with noise at night time.

I'd definitely recommend this flat if you're going to Madrid, and also Guillermo as a host
