Mely is a wonderful host - friendly, helpful - responding to all our emails quickly.The apartment is modernised with a lovely old feel. It was spotlessly clean, comfortable and very spacious for 2 people. It is perfectly located next to Plaza Mayor, and San Miguel Mercado. Staying at Mely's apartment made for a very pleasant stay in Madrid. It can be noisy at night, but given its lively location this is acceptable. We needed to climb stairs with baggage - approximately 2 flights - however this was not problematic for us. Highly recommended. Thanks Mely
