the apartment is exactly like the pictures, it has great natural light and new fixtures. the hosts are very attentive and come by the apartment to check the group in and give details and tips about madrid. all sheets and towels smelled fresh and clean. air conditioner, water pressure, were great. if you are there on a sunday El Rasco market is right outside your door. there is also a little convenience store next door which is perfect when you want to grab water and snacks on the way home. the area is perfect because it's near most tourist attractions but just far enough out where you get a bit of a reprieve.
