This apartment is very, very cool. The decor is beautiful and Gustavo was very welcoming and super easy to communicate with. He showed us all around when we checked in and made sure we didn't have any unanswered questions. It was a quick metro ride to anywhere we wanted to go, and there are several restaurants on the block if we just wanted to walk around the corner. There was a 24-hour supermarket down the block about 2 minutes that was convenient. This is, however, definitely a 'locals' neighborhood, and I wish I was a little more comfortable with my ability to communicate in Spanish than I am; Not many people in the area spoke much English. Nevertheless, I would definitely come back to stay here next time I'm in Madrid!
