This apartment is as advertised, bright, clean, great location. Other than some minor neighbor noise here and there, the apartment was quiet. Great tapas bars are only a few blocks away and it's only a short walk to many of the Madrid's highlights. I never used the metro or a taxi once while I was here.

I could not have asked for a better host than Ulises. He met me at the apartment and despite my protests, carried my bag up the stairs--the bag was heavy and it was four flights so that was no small undertaking.

I had the unfortunate timing of being there when the internet service went out. However, Ulises called the internet service provider every day and kept me up on what was happening. The internet was out of his control, but still he offered to let me use the internet at his nearby apartment. On top of that, as an apology for my not having internet service for most of my stay, he gave me a great CD ty an Argentine guitarist, which I thought was a nice, thoughtful touch.

I had a wonderful stay here and would recommend this place without hesitation.
