spent the weekend in madrid and stayed at pedros 's apartment -
the apartment is lovely and has everything you would need, the balcony overlooks the small plaza and the spanish foreign office,
it is idealy located 50m from plaza mayor and a short walk from
puerto del sol station, easy walking to the royal palace and the cathedral to the west and the museums prada ,thyssen to the east
it is on the 4th floor with staircase access so bear that in mind if you are not fit
pedro is the perfect host - he kept us informed of everything we needed before the trip and meeting arrangements
when we arrived madrid was having a rare rain downpour but he was waiting in the plaza as arranged, he provided a welcome pack of a bottle of wine, with some fruit, cake, bread milk, bottled water etc there is also coffee tea fruit juice butter etc
so if you arrive in the evening and the shops are shut you wont be in need of anything
pedro is a really really charming man who obviously loves his city and wants his guests and visitors to make the most of it.
we could not recommend him as a host more highly
