Paola was a wonderful host and I enjoyed staying in her apartment conveniently located in El Sol. She was very gracious, charming and accommodating and made me feel very much at home. She made sure my experience in Madrid was a homey one and gave me pointers on where to go and specific directions in finding my way around the city. I loved being in walking distance from so many of Madrid's major sites -- including the Royal Palace, Museo del Prado, El Sol, Plaza del Mayor, Gran Via shopping distict and Chueca. She was also very easy-going and personable. The apartment was clean, decent sized and I had full access to her bathroom. I would highly recommend staying in her apt for a very affordable and convenient location to experience life in heart of Madrid's downtown action. I myself would stay here again.
