I was in Madrid in October 2012 for five nights and booked my apartment through Dana. I had a wonderful time in Madrid. The apartment is so conveniently located that I was able to walk everywhere, and because it is minutes away from the Sol, I got an intimate first look of the lively night life in Madrid. The city has an amazing public transportation system which is very well marked and navigating through the metro system turned out to be much easier than I thought. There is also the fantastic rail system. I was able to take day trips to Segovia and Toledo via the high speed train for very reasonable prices. I thoroughly enjoyed myself, and would definitely return in the future.
