Lara was amazing - an incredibly accommodating woman who went out of her way to make us feel welcome, down to giving us tips about what to find in the local area and the best way to get to Plaza de Cibeles from the airport.
She also made it as easy as she could for us when we were checking out.

The apartment itself:
* Tremendous location, absolutely perfect for a short trip to Madrid
* Very clean
* Quirky and unique decor
* Small (fine for a short break, though)
* The street is quiet, so you don't get any street noise, but...
* ... You can easily hear the neighbours coming and going
* There actually IS a bonus hair dryer! It wasn't on the listing but it was super handy.
* The sloping low ceilings were out to get me
* A direct shuttle bus from the airport is 5 Euros and stops about 5 mins away from the flat
* Espresso kettle provided :D
