Pilar is an amazing host! Very sweet and makes sure everything is available for a wonderful stay. Even though we didn't speak her native language she made sure we were comfortable in the apartment and took her time explaining how to use the various things within the apartment. She also has tons of information in the apartment on things to do, restaurants to visit, and all things Madrid. The location can't be beat. We were in walking distance of everything and only took the metro a couple times when we were exhausted from a full days walking. We highly recommend Pilar's apartment for your visit to Madrid. You will not find a better location and price.
