The location of Charo's place is great. Close to the metro, museums and central Madrid. The room is spacious, comfortable, and private enough that the smoking didn't bother us. There is a shared bathroom and although there is no wireless, the hosts graciously let us use their computer. The family is charming and generous and gave us great tips on how to get around and what to see. The lack of air conditioner was not a problem at this time of year.
