Max's place is in a great location and it has everything you'd need for a short or long term stay. When we arrived Max was very helpful and plotted recommended areas and attractions on a map which was of great use for our four days. The major attractions within the centre of Madrid were all within walking distance. The latin district is great for wondering around in and is far enough away from the touristy areas that you needn't worry about being ushered into restaurants by overly keen waiters. There are some great modern and more traditional small bars, cafes and eateries filled with locals, all within walking distance from the apartment. Great place, great host, great city!
