Ixchel's place was an excellent location to stay in Madrid. Its located right next to the Sol metro station and is walking distance to all the major attractions, shopping, restaurants and night life in Madrid. We traveled with a family of 5 adults and one child. The place was clean and very well furnished. We were met by Ani (Ixchel's friend) at the duplex and were given a quick overview of the place. She also met us at The duplex is clean and has all the amenities. The only thing is that the windows are not fully sound proof. There is a restaurant behind the duplex and on weekends you can hear people sitting outside having dinner till late. However, you are in Madrid and people here like to enjoy their meals outside in the summer. Also, dinner starts late in Madrid around 9pm and goes on till midnight. So enjoy the city and the tapas in Madrid with a late dinner.
Wish we could have stayed longer. Overall a great place, amazing location and a great host.
