Is a great and cozy place. Ricardo did everything possible to make our stay pleasant (complimentary wine bottle included, wow!). You get the entire apartment for yourself, and even though its space is small, is also extremely well distributed and very well equipped. Two things to point out that are mostly a clarification particularly for North American guests: 1) The building exterior and its inner patios are deceiving, they look old and a bit unpleasant to the eye, but please remember that this is Europe and pretty much EVERYTHING is old. Ricardo's apartment is fully renovated and meets modern standards. 2) The area may feel a little artsy bordering in what we westerners call "sketchy", but it's actually more aligned with a bohemian European vibe including an entire street full of nice and affordable places for eating tapas and drinking beers or sangrias. All in all, we never felt insecure at any time. Location-wise couldn't be better as well, there's a metro station around the corner that connects you with pretty much all the Madrid area, and the Atocha station is also at a sling-shot distance (Uber was ~8 euro) as well as pretty close to two landmark museums (Reina Sofia and El Prado). I highly recommend this place.
