Hector's place is in a great location - it's nearby a plethora of bars, restos, convenience stores, cafes and supermarkets. It's also very near the Reina Sofia and Atocha Station, and walking distance to most sights. The apartment was clean and compact, and the lift was very useful for big luggage. Although we didn't get to meet Hector, communication with him wasn't a problem, and he helped us with directions to Las Ventas, as we wanted to watch the bullfight. Overall, it was a good base for a few days in Madrid.
