Ramon was a great host! Did not meet him but his friend Marco took very good care of us. We were able to drop off our suitcases early so we could go explore while the apartment was being cleaned. The apartment is convenient to everything! We were able to walk everywhere. The only downside, which was mentioned in some other reviews, was the noise level at night. But once we realized that all of Madrid comes alive at 1:00 am, we put our earplugs in and slept soundly.
