We've just returned from a 3 night stay in Ruben's apartment - the perfect base for a stay in Madrid. The apartment is in an ideal location, 2 minutes from Plaza Mayor, and within easy walking distance of lots of good bars, restaurants etc, as well as the main sights. There is also a great bakery right next door, which was perfect for breakfast (although Ruben also kindly left coffee, milk, cereal and other supplies which was great).

Whilst we unfortunately didn't get to meet Ruben, he was incredibly helpful both before our stay, providing local maps and recommendations, as well as throughout our stay, checking in with us to make sure everything was ok. He was always very speedy to reply to any questions and was on-hand throughout.

We were very happy with the apartment and it had everything you would really need, either for a short or longer term stay. The apartment was nicely decorated and furnished - the photos were very accurate and we instantly felt comfortable there. The apartment offered good value for money, and we would definitely stay here again if we return to Madrid.
