Max's apartment is a great place to stay in Madrid! Location-wise, it couldn't be better, as it's a short walk to the main square, and 5 min walk from 2 Metro stations. The apartment itself is situated in a quiet street and to the back of the building, so absolutely no noise from traffic, and the neighbours are also very quiet. There are loads of shops nearby if you need to pick up any bits (including a Lidl).

As for the apartment itself, it has obviously been very lovingly decorated, with lots of lovely touches to make it feel modern yet homely. The living room area is very cosy, but big enough for what you need it for. The bathroom is modern and clean with a good shower, and the kitchen is very well equipped. Both bedrooms are up the stairs and of a similar size. I was worried that the apartment might get too hot in the summer, but it was actually pleasantly cool inside so we were able to get away from the heat! We didn't even need the fan on during the night!

Finally, Max himself was a terrific host, keeping in regular contact about arrival times and any queries we had, and was also able to offer some local advice. All round brilliant guy and would definitely recommend this as a place to stay for a city break!
