Patricia and her support team were super responsive in every way, even providing me a new coffee pot when I couldn't produce coffee from their existing moka brewer.

I would give this a 5+ on value--for barely more than 2X the price of nearby shared rooms in a hostel, I got my own apartment with kitchen and bath.

The neighborhood is grittier than neighboring Salamanca or Gran Via but the aforementioned hookers are more amusing than threatening, unless you find the occasional "ven aqui" life-threatening.

The unit is on a lower-level courtyard-facing unit that faces north; as such I found it stays very cool even when the external temp reached 92F/33C at the expense of lower levels of natural light and the various "noises of life" that can be heard from courtyard neighbors.

I would highly recommend Patricia's place for value-minded single travelers, or doubles traveling lightly. Disfruta Madrid!
