We planned to arrive early in the morning so we booked 2 nights starting the night before we arrived that way we would be able to come directly to the apartment and sleep after a long flight. Our flight was cancelled which delayed our arrival into the late evening. The hosts were helpful in changing check in arrangements, arranging a driver to pick us up at the airport and recommending a few local restaurants for us to try. The apartment is located in a very convenient area and the hosts are very helpful in helping you make arrangements for transportation or things to see and do. The building is a little outdated but the actual apartment is nice and cozy. Although we only ended up spending one night in Madrid due to our flight delay, we were able to walk to an area with many restaurants and shops. It was a much nicer area than I had imagined. It made for a nice night out. If I were to stay in Madrid again, I would stay here.
