This cozy apartment in the heart of the old quarter was delightful. Harking back to the early days of Airbnb, Xavier met us at the property personally showed it to us and answered questions. The bedroom is located in the interior of the apartment so does not pick up street noise that you might expect for core urban areas. The kitchenette and eating area were perfect for us ( Americans ) who can't eat dinner at the late Spanish hour as it allowed us to prepare a light early meal from nearby Carrefour. We could walk to all of the attractions easily. Most ideal for travelers who do not have a car due to narrow medieval streets. Materials at the bedside were very helpful in finding our own walking tours of Madrid neighborhoods.
