The hosts - Mercedes and Jose were amazing hosts! Our flight was delayed and we didn't arrive until after midnight and they were there waiting for us with the keys and to show us around. They were very quick to reply when we had questions and on the day we left they let us leave our suitcases there as they didn't have a guest arriving that day which was so helpful.
The apartment - it was a lovely, clean studio apartment and there were so many nice touches. Ground coffee, milk & juice boxes in the fridge and even a couple chocolate bars! Oh and some little muffins with jam. If you wanted to stay in and cook it had everything you'd need. The bathroom had a great shower, shampoo, shower gel & a loofah for each of us. There were maps, guide books and recommendations for restaurants. The bed was comfortable and it was quiet. The building was hidden away from the main streets. You could hear some noise from the neighbour singing in the shower but that's to be expected in communal living!
The location - we loved it! The apartment is in La Latina and an easy walk to all the central sights and metro stations. There are some fantastic tapas bars along the street and others just around the corner that didn't feel touristy at all.
If you're looking for a central but quiet place to stay, this is your place! Thank you again Mercedes and Jose! Hasta luega!
