Rodrigo's place is central to everything, with all the major sites less than 1 km away. This was extremely important since we planned on walking everywhere. If walking is not an option, the public transportation is extremely close. The place is near a bustling street, but because of where the apartment was situated, we don't hear the outside commotion. When we met him, he gave us a general tour of apartment, where everything was, how to use the microwave, etc. He made sure we were as comfortable was possible. Furthermore, he was extremely helpful in suggesting restaurants and places to visit, especially since it was our first time in the city. The restaurants he recommends is great, and you won't have to break the bank to afford food. The fact he provided breakfast was a plus since most restaurants don't open early.
Should I find myself in Madrid again, I would not hesitate to book this place again.
