It was great to stay with Charo and Conrad - they're great hosts and their apartment is in a terrific position. Just stroll down Fuencarrol (trying to avoid all the fabulous shops) and you're crossing Gran Via and in Puerta del Sol in the middle of town before you know it.

A hint to potential guests - Charo has a sweet tooth and Conrad loves a Mahou cervesa (he doesn't mind the odd pastry either).
