This apartment is a wonderful comfortable (& amazingly quiet ! )haven centrally located in the middle of Madrid ! (Furnishings modern, comfortable & impeccably like new )Mario was a gracious host offering recommendations& assistance -- he was very prompt & responsive to guest requests (made sure to accompany us to get a taxi on our last day ) We had intended to use the cooking facilities but we had far too many tapas & restaurants to try. We will definitely plan to return to Marios apartment in the future!
