Ricardo’s place is very homey, clean and lovely. My stay was comfortable and pleasant. Though I didn’t get a chance to meet Ricardo in person, he communicated with me to make sure that I had everything I needed. The neighborhood is quiet and safe (I was walking around on my own at night without any issues), but close to all the actions. Most major tourist attractions are within a ten to 15-minute walk. I would definitely recommend Ricardo’s place and would stay here again if I was in Madrid.
