My wife and I stayed in Mike's apartment in March 2014. Mike was extremely accommodating with check-in (given that we were arriving late and he was out of town), The apartment is exactly as described and portrayed in his listing. We found there to be ample room. Very close to the Lavapies metro station, but honestly the location is such that it's very easy to walk to many of Madrid's numerous attractions without ever using the Metro. There are also SO many bars/restaurants available within several blocks. Our only qualm was that it was difficult to get two warm showers in the morning (despite attempting to be quite quick) as the hot water tank is relatively small; that being said this is noted in the house. We would definitely stay again if in Madrid!
