Al's studio was the perfect place to stay during our stay in Madrid. It was a 5 minute walk to the Metro and short walking distances to bars and restaurants in the area. It was never noisy at night. Al was very nice and kind. He took the time to explain how to get around the city and the sites that we should see. He also left us a bottle of delicious wine along with pastries and juices to have. Will definitely stay here again if traveling to Madrid.
