We couldn’t have had a better welcome to Madrid. I highly recommend arranging the taxi pick-up and drop-off to/from airport or train station with the host. The apartment was clean, and perfect for us 3 ladies. There was a heat wave during our stay so having an apartment with AC that worked properly was heavenly. The location is central to everything. The Galician restaurant down the block has delicious food and great service. Nice bar/cafetería down the street and around the block for breakfast.
