Isabel's place was very central in Madrid, with lots of cafe's, restaurants and shops reached within a few minutes. The trendy Malasana and Gran Via are just around the corner and there is a supermarket directly opposite. We didn't buy any bus or metro tickets at all; we walked to all main tourist attractions without problems and usually within 15-30 minutes. While the flat was small, it has everything that you might need to cook and relax, ok for 2 people. The only comments might be that the bed was a little hard as it's just a matress on the floor and that the bathroom needed to be aired properly as not to smell damp. But otherwise it's all clean and Isabel's tips and communication were fantastic before and during our stay. We would definitely recommend to stay here!
