This was a very, nice flat. We chose it because we liked the photos of family stuff around the flat. For us it proved to be a less commercial property and more a home than some other places . I think it was almost nicer than the photos showed - it was very clean , comfortable and had everything one could need. We liked the fact that it was in a residential area and so we didn't really notice many other "tourists". It was very well placed for metro transport, and yet we could still walk easily to other parts of Madrid. There is a 24 hour supermarket literally round the corner. There are many bars, cafes and restauarants nearby but none of the noise and tourist attractions as in central Madrid. We ate out despite the fact that there was all you could need to cook at home if you wanted. Maria was very good with communication especially as we arrived later than we thought as we'd got the timing wrong. On leaving, there was an air traffic controller strike. Maria could not have been more helpful, allowing us to use another property and support us with making new flights and hotel arrangements. We thoroughly recommend this apartment.
