First, this place looks much better than the photos. We were pleasantly surprised that the living and dining area are actually more spacious than they seem in the photos. Another thing we liked best about this place is the little details that only a woman's touch can provide, like dish towels, laundry soap complete with softener, dish sponge, bathroom floor towel, etc. And we're sure that is thanks to Mercedes :) I guess we are particular about these because we are all women.

Also, because of some technical/electronic glitch, it wasn't possible for us to contact Enrique re the delayed arrival. He patiently waited until we arrived. Understandably so, he demanded for an explanation. He was so kind to offer to arrange a taxi ride for us to the airport at the end of our stay. It turned out it wasn't necessary since the house is so close to the Atocha station. We didn't worry about coming home late each day.

We will definitely stay here again when we're back, maybe in 2 years! However, we took note to do our shopping in Madrid so as not to load up our luggage! There is no elevator in the building. And the flat is on the 4th floor (which in US terms is on the 5th floor, because in Europe they have Floor Zero).

Thanks again Enrique and Mercedes :)
