Guillermo was great to deal with responding to any enquiries we had promptly. His friend Elise checked us into the apartment and kindly changed the check in time at short notice at our request. She also gave us plenty of info on the area, The apartment is small but clean and modernity refurbished.The weather in Madrid was extremely hot during our visit but thankfully the apartment is fully air conditioned. We enjoyed our stay in lavapies, it is within walking distance of all the major attractions and Atocha station which has a bus directly to the airport.
