Lovely, quirky little apartment. The 4 floors of stairs are a bit of a slog but having been warned in advance we were prepared for them. Santiago is a great host who is very prompt with replies and speaks good English (even though he thinks it is not so good). We had an enjoyable stay and saw plenty of Madrid. Much is within walking distance of the apartment but if you don't want to walk too much get a 10 trip ticket from the Metro for Euro 12.20 (Feb 2017). Lavapies Metro is only a short walk from the apartment (2 mins max) and there is a supermarket opposite the metro. Kitchen is small, but hey, you're in Madrid so you should be eating out and only really want to sort out breakfast or snacks in the kitchen. San Miguel Market is about 15 mins walking and a great place to go for atmosphere and tapas, it's also just down the road from Plaza Mayor and Puerta Del Sol in one direction and the Royal Palace in the other direction. I gave my daughter the bed on the mezzanine as I didn't fancy the steps in the middle of the night. I had the sofa bed which was fine for 4 nights. All in all a lovely little place for 2 for a few days break.
