Aureo's apartment is great. We arrived there on Sunday morning and Aureo was there to greet us and explain how to use everything. It is very close to the market which is held on Sunday morning which we would thoroughly recommend visiting, lots on offer.
The apartment itself is very clean, tidy, and nicely decorated. There is lots of interesting decoration on the walls with wood and tiled floors throughout. Although the apartment is quite small in terms of square meters, it is very well laid out so uses the space well. It is ideal for 2 people, but the sofa bed means 4 could sleep there comfortably...however it is an open plan layout so you wouldn't get total privacy.
The apartment block is very quiet and secure, Aureo's place is on the first floor, and there are two sets of double windows which open out over the street which means you can lean out on the rails and watch the world go by. Kitchen was well equipped with electric hob (no oven), toaster, kettle etc. There is a small TV, spanish sattelite channels, and good Wi-fi which could handle streaming a movie online on the laptop.
The neighbourhood is in the SW of Madrid but still fairly central just a 15 minute walk or 2 stops on the Metro to the heart of the city. Its a bit more cosmopolitan than other areas of Madrid we visited, but felt safe in the evenings and there wasn't any noise on the street although you couldn't hear a thing from outside when the windows were shut any way.
Would definitely stay there again...thanks Aureo!
