The apartment was spotlessly clean, the kitchen modern and fully equipped, the beds wonderfully comfortable and the location unbeatable for experiencing the vibrant districts of Madrid (Centro, La Latina, and Lavapies.) It is half a block from the Rastro (Saturday and Sunday flea market), a block and a half from the city market, and less than three blocks from the Calles Alta and Baja Cavas with their countless restaurants and tapas bars. The street can sometimes get noisy, but for the greater part of most nights it is relatively quiet. We had no trouble sleeping. Marta is a great host and you can count on her to help you in any way she can during your stay.
