Ana's place is a cute apt located just up a short block from the Lavapies Metro station, about 10-15 minutes from Atocha rail station and the Reina Sofia Museum. It's also very close to Carrefour which came in handy when we wanted to pick up some water and snacks. During the day and evenings, we were able to walk to almost all the tourist spots we wanted to visit which helped save money and also helped us get more familiar with Madrid. think we took the Metro 1-2 times. In the late hours, I'd recommend a taxi to deliver you directly to the apt.

Our small family of 3 adults + 1 child fit fine in the apt since we had a short stay. We were able to do the laundry which was helpful. Only thing missing was a dryer and/or some slightly sunnier days to be able to use the outside lines to hang our things - that might have helped reduce the slightly damp smell on the towels and laundry. However, since the other apts had the same lines to dry stuff, I'm guessing that is the usual way to dry items. The bed was very comfortable although the sofabed might be a bit uncomfortable for two adults, if you are staying for longer stays. For us, we were able to work with it. Wireless was terrific. The apt complex was quiet.

Ana was a great host. After a late flight Ana welcomed us at the apt, thoughtful enough to leave us fruits and milk, and direct us to a nearby (3 doors away) restaurant for a very late dinner. She was also very helpful in assisting me with tracking down some paperwork I had left behind and answered emails quite promptly.

All in all, Ana is very nice and this apartment is a great value and recommended for a couple or small family who wants to be located in a convenient location in Madrid.
