My husband and I had a great stay at Mike's apartment. It was pretty much in the center of most attractions, only a 15 minute walk from the Atocha train station, and it was located around many cafes and restaurants. The apartment had all the basic necessities you'll need (complete with cooking utensils, pans, and spices etc) and it had a very homey atmosphere. Mike was a very accommodating host and it was very easy to communicate with him; he responds within a few minutes! He also gave us several recommendations for cafes and restaurants. I would definitely recommend staying at his apartment!
