We stayed at Miriam's appartment last weekend. Her appt is in a very safe area, right beside the train /subway station and shopping centre and Palace gardens and the park in Madrid. Miriam was a fabulous hostess, her appt was spotless, the beds were very comfortable and everything was provided that we needed.The appt is in a fab location and is so central, we would highly recommend to anyone visiting Madrid. Air conditioning worked and tv was available in english with a selection of english films for a lazy evening in. Nearby is the lovely Cafe Del Rey with the fabulously helpfull Carlos. Everything is right beside you that you may need. Would recommend hiring out electric bikes for a few hours to tour the huge park over there. We paid E14 for them for 2 hours to an independent bike hire shop along by the river. Book in advance as they need 3 hours to charge them.Great place, fab appt and great weekend. Thank you Miriam.
