I am a senior citizen and a solo traveler. I needed to stay close to Barajas airport. Given that Rachel’s place is only a 15 minute ride on a tram line, the location was excellent for me. And the neighborhood is fairly residential and upscale which was also a plus. Rachel keeps the apartment super clean and, with the help of Google translator, readily communicates to answer questions. She is willing and able to be available for check-in which requires responding to a bldg entry buzzer and escorting up the elevator to her 4th floor apartment. My stay worked out perfectly for me.
