We enjoyed staying at Joaquin's flat - the apartment and bathroom were very clean, the beds were comfortable, There was a little street noise but nothing bothersome. We liked the modern shower with lots of hot water and it was fun watching all the dogs out on their walks at the park across the street. It was convenient to have some cafes and small restaurants nearby, as well as a grocery store. We had a great time in Madrid - what an impressive city with such incredible art museums.
