This is a conveniently centralized location for visiting Madrid, as it is just a block away from Plaza Mayor. Right after booking we received a message from Consuelo with good detailed instructions on arriving and contacting her and Albert. Albert met us on time at the apartment and kindly provided a thorough walk-through of his apartment as well as tips about sights to see and places to eat, including nearby economical options. On checkout, Albert accommodated our departure plans and allowed us to leave our luggage with him after we checked out, since we had some time to see sights before heading to the train station.

The apartment itself is clean, well decorated, and cozy. We were very comfortable and pleased during our stay. Be advised that this is on the 5th floor (96 steps--we counted!). You can hear people outside when they are singing loudly at night, if they're around, but that occurs only occasionally and briefly and did not disrupt our rest.

Our stay here was completely positive and I highly recommend staying here!
