Laren's place is a prime location, very close to everything on foot. You can explore everything Madrid has to offer from this convenient Cava Baja street that is full of nice restaurants, tapas, bars, and convenience stores. Plaza Mayor, where a lot of tours start, is only a few blocks away. The place is very comfortable, clean, and accommodating. We slept great. She supplies coffee, a Keurig machine, and shows you how to use it. There was shampoo, conditioner, and some body wash in case you didn't bring any. She has some great recommendations for dinner and tapas and drinks. I recommend trying Camoati, an Argentine restaurant close by. The food was amazing, the service was great, and it wasn't too expensive. The place is not far to the airport, and train station too. I recommend staying here if you're looking for an affordable place to fully enjoy Madrid.
