The apartment was exactly as advertised & Claudia was there when I arrived. She immediately showed me where everything was, gave me keys & recommended things to do, see, eat in the local area.
The room was light and bright. Very comfortable bed with extra blankets if required. Another big plus for me was that the house is calm, tranquil & peaceful so I was able to work & write very easily.
Claudia is a wonderful host & made me most welcome in her home. I'd recommend staying with her to anyone!
I had work meetings every day & was seeing old friends in the evenings and was able to walk almost everywhere with ease. It was only when I went out into the suburbs that I needed to use the metro (which is very easy). Excellent location for all of the city & convenient for Estacion de Atocha with connections to the airport. Also an easy walk to the Reina Sofia to go & see 'Guernica' as well as the Prado, etc.
