I stayed in Ulises' one room apartment for 11 nights - and it was everything promised - bright, safe, up 90 steps, the bed was adequate, the shower temperature and pressure was fine. The location is very convenient to all the sites, and I felt safe staying there. I would recommend Ulises apartment to anyone staying a few nights in Madrid. Ulises was wonderful to work with - prompt, friendly, helpful - after carrying my luggage upstairs, he even offered to carry my luggage back down when it was time for me to leave!
