Marta was lovely, and made us feel welcome on arrival, giving us lots of potential places to go and things to see.

The flat was nicely located, no distance from Reina Sofia and Atocha station. It's close(ish) to three metro stations, so getting about was no problem at all. If you need one (and we did) there's a church almost outside the apartment.

The room was comfortable, very warm and had everything we needed - though we don't tend to take much advantage of the cooking facilities in any case. It wasn't a case of just having a base that you were glad to leave in the mornings - we struggled to get out of bed and out into town, so snug did we feel. It all feels very authentic and less touristy.

We would definitely consider staying here again were we in Madrid - indeed it would be a nice base for a longer stay.
