Communication with our host was very good. We never met, but they answered texts and email immediately. Everything was perfect and they even arranged for an English speaking taxi driver to meet us at the airport. The apartment was perfect for two couples and brilliantly placed, so that we could walk everywhere. We had breakfast in the little cafe/bakery round the corner (go down the hill, turn right and right again). Coffee and pastries the best ever! Two Wonderful tapas bars too. The Prado is five minutes away and Plaza Major 15 minutes walk. We recommend drinks on the roof top bar in Plaza Santa Anna, the open topped bus tour for orientation and the botanical garden and the large park nearby. A wonderful trip and many thanks to our hosts.
