We had a fantastic time in Madrid and Lola's apartment was just perfect. Really clean, bright and had everything we needed. It's in a great location: right next to San Bernardo Metro station and in a really bohemian area. Great restaurants practically on the doorstep and a real sense of being away from the touristy areas and in the 'real' Madrid life. The apartment is on a quiet street so you get a good night's sleep whilst being in walking distance of all the action! It's worth noting that the apartment is on the 3rd floor so there are lots of stairs. But they are very beautiful stairs! This didn't bother us but just be aware if you need step-free access. We bought Metro passes for the week at the station at the airport but because the weather was sunny and the apartment was so well located, we didn't really use them. Madrid is quite a small city (compared to London) and you can walk pretty much everywhere. Lola is a great host. She checked in with us (by email) before arrival and whilst we were there to check everything was OK. Maria was there to meet us on arrival and was there if we needed her. I'd most definitely recommend Lola's apartment. Great place, great location.
