Thank you to Harrald and Carlos for being great hosts with a lovely apartment in a safe non tourist area. The check in instructions were easy and Harrald went the extra mile to make it easy for us. The spotlessly clean apartment is within easy walking distance of all the major attractions and the local Pum Pum cafe was great for breakfast ( eggs benedict and cheesecake) and coffee. Also across the road is Peyma restaurant open , busy and noisy till 3 am . Just a 5 minute walk to El Rastro on Sunday and an easy 15-20 minute walk to Gran Via , Retiro Park , Reina Sofia etc. Another big plus was the very comfortable bed which was fantastic to fall asleep in after a busy day. Best value for money.
