This is a great space that actually IS as large as it looks in the pictures and was a wonderful base to explore Madrid from. Helena is a gracious and responsive host. The kitchen and laundry facilities were equipped with everything we needed, and the central location can't be beat. It is an urban/student heavy area, and trash is picked up every night so if you aren't used to that you might find it a bit noisy in the main bedroom. Closing the wooden shutters helps, and keeps it cool during the day!
