We spent five nights in Felipe's La Latina apartment in April 2012. We did not get to meet Felipe. A very nice man met us at the apartment and handed over keys and explained how to use everything. He did not speak any English and we did not speak any Spanish but we got by just fine using actions. We were surprised how small the apartment was - a bedsit really. It is one of the cleanest, well equipped places we have stayed in. A lot of thought has been put into providing everything you might need. The shower recess is quite small but in good condition with good hot water. Good quality crockery, saucepans, etc. We had absolutely no problems at all (although we were a little hesitant about the area at first). There are small convenience shops in the same street, a baker around the corner. The apartment block was extremely quiet. No worries getting to sleep at night. There is a good washing machine in kitchen and we hung our washing on the lines provided over the courtyard. The apartment is situated between two metro stations and is walking distance to the major sights.
