Our experience in Madrid was exceptional, mainly due to Alberto's treatment! The luxury basement apartment is exactly what the pictures show. It would also work very well for long stays. It has all the modern conveniences and everything you need to make you feel like a real local. Alberto welcomed us very fondly and made sure we felt very comfortable in his place. He also gave us excellent suggestions to where to dine.The apartment is very conveniently located why it's true, very close all of the action in Madrid. He helped us resolve several issues we had and was very prompt in his communication. I would highly recommend staying at his place, and if we ever go back to Madrid we would stay at his apartment.
