Ruben’s place was great to stay at. We were two friends travelling together, so having two separate bedrooms (rather than on of us having to use a sofa-bed) was just great! His place itself was bright and spacious, and situated close to many bars and restaurants. It could sometimes be a little noisy out the front of the apartment at night (I’m a light sleeper), but it was helped by closing the shutters over the windows. We really enjoyed our visit to Madrid and it was great being able to have Ruben’s place as a base to explore from!
