I stayed here for three nights at the very beginning of a six week trip. The hundred wooden steps to the apartment, highly polished over many many years of use, were actually a welcome source of exercise as I got into better shape for sight-seeing. The room is small and simple, but suited my needs. There is a lovely cat in residence. Walter communicated well, offering his number for questions. In the end, though, I was so busy that we didn’t meet much. The location is PERFECT for reaching anything between the Prado and the Palace on foot. It is close to everything that I wanted to see. This place won’t work for those who don’t welcome 100 stairs, or a cat, or a tiny room with a single bed. Otherwise, it is a great value.
