Fernando's cute little apartment was in the absolutely best location for us in Madrid. It was an easy two metro stop from the train station, and within very easy walking distance to the real highlights of Madrid- the Puerto del Sol, Plaza Mayor, the Prado museum and Buen Retiro park, Reina Sofia Museum, theatres, shops, local markets. He was a very kind and hospitable host, offering us little extras such as tea and coffee in or room, fruit to make juice and acess to his kitchen to cook or snack. We felt completely at home there.
