We enjoyed our stay in madrid. The first and foremost positive point is its location, which is very central. All main attractions are at walkable distance. There are plenty bars, restaurants, cafes in the neighborhood. The home is very clean and pretty quiet. However if you are looking for some light, bright and airy space, this may not be for you. Riaz is a great host and very easy going guy. He offered us beers, breakfast and even made some tea for us in the morning. Would recommend if you are looking for some central, basic and simple stay.
