Leonardo was very welcoming and helpful, an excellent host. The flat has everything you need and it was a really nice to stay there. There are many nice parts of Madrid you can stay in, and this part is just that. Plenty of places to eat: traditional, veggie, vegan, south american, etc. One of my top 10 best gelaterias just 2 mins walk away :-). It is close to the Palace, and walkable to the main museums. Close to the lively areas, the hippy areas, and the touristic areas. Definitely recommended.
