I was met and let into the apartment by the lovely Zani a friend of Ulises. This was much appreciated as I had a very late in the evening arrival. I only met Ulises briefly but had lots of email correspondence which was helpful. The apartment is lovely, bright and quiet and in the most sensational location, with a flea market right at the doorstep on a Sunday morning (I love flea markets.). Although there was a language barrier we were able to overcome it by persistance and a mutural sense of good will. I would stay here again if I visited Madrid again someday (hopefully)
