We just completed our 4 night stay in Laren's wonderful apartment right in the heart of La Latina. We were met at the apartment by Lina, a friend of Laren's. She gave us a rundown of the apartment and the surrounding neighborhoods, and was great at responding to any enquiries we had during our stay. The apartment is exactly as described, bright, roomy and clean. The street that the apartment is on is full of tapas restaurants and easily accessible to the main attractions of Madrid. In fact we walked pretty much everywhere, no need to take the metro, though the La Latina stop is right around the corner. I would recommend Laren's apartment to anyone looking to stay in the heart of La Latina and close to all the action! Thanks Laren and Lina for everything!!
