I had a great stay at Ulises' studio. As I was arriving quite late at night, I contacted him early to figure out how I could get the key and he arranged for a local friend of mine to collect it on my behalf.

The flat was well presented, comfortable and clean as in the photos and had everything one would need for a short holiday (towels, shampoo, soap, hair dryer etc.). The shower was powerful, the flat was air conditioned and the kitchenette was well equipped.

It is ideally and centrally located, with La Latina metro station being just round the corner in a lovely neighbourhood. The airport is easy to get to, only having to change metro lines once (EUR 5.00) or can be quickly reached by taxi (EUR 30.00). As others mentioned, the flat is on the 4th floor with no lift, so that is something to be aware of if you have difficulty with stairs or have a lot of heavy bags. I was travelling light so this did not bother me.

Ulises was also great at keeping communication very active (I communicated with him in Spanish) despite him having to be caring for his wife who was about to give birth to their daughter! I wish his family well.

I would highly recommend this as an ideal place for one or two people staying on a short break in Madrid.
