This was my first stay in a private room and it was and excellent experience. The reviews were all very positive, and I have to say they were exactly right. Elvira is a wonderful host. Her flat is lovely and the location in the Barrio de Las Letras is perfect. Super cool neighborhood and close to everything....the entrance to the Prado Museum is literally a 5 minute walk! She provided all the help and guidance I needed. The room was nice and the bed extremely comfortable. I had a fantastic experience all around and highly recommend Elvira's place.
