I stayed at Tarek's place with my parents, husband, and brother. Everything was comfortable. The location was excellent. We love to walk, and walked everywhere - to the palace and the Prado and everywhere in between. The best tapas place we went in Madrid was a 7 minute walk away. The square is loud but the windows keep out all the noise! So you can experience the sights and sounds of the square only when you feel like it. Tarek was super responsive and nice about any issues or questions we had. We would stay here again. Nos gusto mucho!!
