Clara is a wonderful host, made us very comfortable and willingly gave a lot of time for all our needs - from phoning city councils to check times to booking and cooking amazing authentic meals for us, taking us for coffee at a building with a view of the city, taking me shopping, coming to meet us when the taxi dumped us at the roadside instead of her doorstep, etc etc.
Her apartment is in a great location with eateries and subway station nearby. It is within walking distance to all the tourist spots we wanted to visit- Mercado San Augustine, Plaza Mayor, Cathedral Almudena, Royal Palace, Puerto del Sol, Retiro Park, Sobrino Botin, etc etc.
Her home was very comfortable; bed, rooms, bathroom, kitchen was very clean and lots of amenities was available for us to use - washing machine for clothes, coffee machine etc etc. Her breakfast was fantastic. I highly recommend her place to stay in Madrid if you want to taste the life of a local.
