We enjoyed our stay at Gianni's apartment in the Central part of Madrid. We were able to walk to many of the museums, the Palace, Cathedral, and Plaza Major. The apartment is located near a group of Indian restaurants and close to a metro stop and a Carrefour supermarket. The apartment kitchen was newer, well equipped, and made great use of a small space. We really apreciated the air conditioning, as it was 101 degrees outside. The bathroom was tiny but usable and newer. The only negatives about the apartment were that you could hear doors closing at night and people talking, and the bed creaked. Over all, it was a good base for exploring Madrid on a budget. I never met Gianni due to his work schedule, but he made sure we had everything we needed and he is very prompt in replying. I would recommend the apartment to future travelers.
