Alfonso's place was great! You can't beat the location. It was super close to the Metro and the Royal Palace is right down the street. We were able to walk mostly everywhere that we wanted to go, but it was really nice to have the Metro so close to get to other locations within the city. The apartment was the perfect size for two people. Alfonso left some water, soft drinks and a bottle of wine in the fridge for us which was such a nice surprise! Our bus got into Madrid a bit later than expected and he was super accommodating and easy to get in contact with upon our arrival. The apartment is on the top floor of the building, but there is an elevator, which came in handy when arriving and departing with all of our luggage. We would definitely stay at Alfonso's again, if our travels bring us back to Madrid!
