I spent one night in Isabel's charming flat. Communications with Isabel were top notch and very friendly and pleasant. The flat was was nicely decorated, well equipped, very comfortable and had lots of natural light in the bedroom and living room. I was very satisfied with the apartment and with the ambiance, services and accessibility of the surrounding neighborhood. There is almost any type of shop and personal service I could imagine needing available within walking distance of apartment and anything missing could be accessed without need of a vehicle through the wonderful Madrid Metro system - the nearest station on line 7 is a little over ten minutes walk from the apartment and there is another metro line about 10 minutes walk in the other direction. There are two large public markets within walking distance and also several food markets, fruit shops and bakeries. Parque El Calero with its long string of comfortable terraza equipped restaurants along the edge and an outdoor cinema in the summer months is 10 minutes walk away. There is a large municipal sporting center with an outdoor pool five minutes walk away. All in all a very pleasant base for exploration or work in Madrid and I would happily stay there again.
