We had a great time at Maria Elena’s apartment. It’s such a great location close to two subway stations and a relatively short walk to the main tourist areas like Gran Via street and the Plaza Mayor. The power has a tendency to go out if both of the stove top burners plus the toaster oven are being used but you can easily switch it back on via the breaker box. We had to meet Maria Elena to grab the keys to check in so make sure you give her lots of notice of what time you will be arriving so that you can meet her. Really great value for such a good location in Madrid
