First of all, I would like to note how much of warm & welcoming host Mercedes is.
From the first day we arrived, she allowed us to check in earlier, she gave us a map of the city and directions how to get around. The next few mornings she very kindly & generously offered us coffee, which is absolutely not expect but greatly appreciated (if you are a coffee fiend as much as I am).
This was my first experience with a live-in host but Mercedes really made it a great now and I will not shy from it again in the future thanks to her.

The apartment itself is like something out of a interior design magazine or as today's youth may refer to it as 'worthy of an Instagram post'.
The living room is spacious and the bedroom is cosy & warm.
There is very strong wifi signal (an absolute must these days), public transport is a stone throw away and we got into the main city center within 15 mins on the bus.
The apartment was within walking distance (about 20 mins for me) to Rubiero Park (one of Madrid's #1 must see locations), the main train station where you also get the bus to the airport is 5 mins walk.
